According to my experience, these tools are pretty useless. Same with the G'MIC extract foreground filter.
I hardly ever use them.
Hopefully these tools will be improved in a future version of Gimp because from my experience the quick selection tool in Photoshop works really well.
For quick jobs i always use the lasso tool.
Sometimes a layermask works well, or a a channel as the base for a layermask.
For example with a blue sky, you can make use of the Hue and decompose the image.
In the end, you will get the best results with the paths tool and a layermask.
