These are designed to spray the water around the foundation in a wide 
pattern rather then pour in a sheet.  The problem I see is the water is 
still falling around the foundation and may cause water problems in the 
basement.  One function of a gutter is to carry water away from the 
foundation.  Just guessing, but this would probably be worse than no 
gutters at all.  By spraying the water around the foundation I'd imagine 
water has more time to soak into the ground.
