Relative UI Testing newbie here - been working with TC for about 5 months now. Started from scratch having to learn the ins-and-outs of TC, python, and how TC integrates with our Windows application objects, etc. Since, I started out fresh, I was able to design the process however I wanted, and I believe I came up with a pretty unique design to aid in creating/updating tests faster and easier, very little maintenance, and allows anyone to create tests without first learning TC/python/etc. I compared my design to another teams (that's been using TC for 5 years now) and if my calculations are correct, I'll be able to reduce the amount of code we have to maintain by over 95% or more. Not sure if my design will stand the test of time yet, but I'm very happy with the way it's come out so far. 
btw...the hardest thing we've come across so far is VST's (Virtual String Trees) - in a Delphi Development environment. We did a ton a reseach (on here and other sites) trying to find a good solution. We finally figured out a way handle them, but I wouldn't say it's a great solution. If anyone has experience with VST's (especially using Python), I would definitely like to hear more about your experiences and how you figured out solutions for them.
