As of right now, the best use of CRISPR is studying how biological systems works by making alterations in them. For example, I did some research studying glucocorticoid signaling using test animals with a nonfunctioning glucocorticoid receptor produced using CRISPR.

It will be useful to test genes and see what it is they actually do since we can turn a single gene on or off and alter its expression.

It's bacterial anti-virus mechanism, and prokaryotic DNA is naked, while eukaryotic chromosomes are strictly separated from the cytosol and packed+twisted tightly, contain a lot of non-coding sequences, and may be hard to manually edit.
