With that said I agree that the result isn't always pretty and sometimes downright ugly. Shooting the ILS into MOB recently, the CDI was dancing left and right and the airplane was doing it's best to follow it. It was pretty bad. And then two hours later the same airplane flew a beautiful coupled approach into CLT.

Granted on a gusty day it appears to not do so well but I have always found that if you attempt to intercept the localizer at a reasonable airspeed and get configured by glideslope intercept, it does a good job. Just my observations.
