It took me a while to get my head around how it worked, and initially I would have enormous automations "turn on light X at 75%", "turn on light Y at 55%", "turn on power outlet XYZ", "close shades window XYZ" for each and every lamp and feature I wanted for the evening, for instance. And you could actually see those things happen sequentially.
Now it's just "turn on scene 1" and poof all lights are on exactly how I want them.
