I agree, I've never heard of this forms tool.

Cindy - I never heard of wufoo before today, so I would say whoever told you
that seems to just be a fan of the tool. They may like it because you throw
together a form, paste in a chunk of code, and the submissions are auto-sent
to you. WebAIM has an article about forms:
