OK - I hadn't clocked that: makes his post something less than relevant - the e-gates were introduced to assist those living in Qatar.
Maybe my comments are better directed to this poster

My experience at DOH is that it works the same as UAE. I've entered Qatar three times in the last 9 months (EU passport) and the first visit I had to queue to the normal immigration for fingerprints and what not. The next two visit I have been through the e-gates in a minute or so.
