I agree, it's a simple attempt to help out. And for people who don't use shy layers a lot, or don't organize by color a lot, it can help tremendously to keep projects organized.   

I think a major use of this script, for me, will be to use this at the end of a project when I have 250+ layers, to wrap it all up into concise sections and collect the project for archiving.   When I come back to it 6 months later for an inane client edit, I can easily jump in without having to remember how I laid it all out again. 

Plus, even if you do use shy layers, this is basically allowing you to have multiple shy layer groups! Which is a step in a good direction, and something native AE does not offer.
