I usually set my clients up with Editor accounts and would assume the automatic upgrade can't be seen by them (if it can it's easily changed in the plugin file anyway).

It's a very pleasant process, just a little button clicking and a couple of downloads (back-ups of your DB and entire site). A maintenance page is put up while the upgrade is in progress, and all you really need to have to hand is your FTP details. However, I don't have it installed on client blogs as it would be a bad idea for them to do the upgrades, especially if something goes wrong. But ignoring the plug-in, this is a great walk-through of the upgrade process for those nervous about going manual :) I use the Automatic Upgrade plug-in on a couple of blogs as well.

I'm always a bit concerned over these one click upgrades. I've used the ones for some plugins on the new WP 2.5 version, some worked and some didn't. Not sure if I'd trust a whole site to it. Plus what does it do about downtime etc? I use the steps above to minimise as much downtime as possible. In theory the longest downtime is spent uploading the wp-includes folder, so theoretically you could rename this, upload it and then turn the site off, rename the directory and then upload the last few files.
