Question about iNES

[Reiver]

Hello, first time to post on these forums; I've actually been the emulation scene for awhile now, long enough to remember when iNES and NESticle were the two main NES emulators out there; and of course, NESticle was a no-brainer, as it was free and had better emulation overall. Of course, it's been ten years now and I've just seen Marat has released version 3.3 of iNES. And I had to ask myself: Who in the world would buy iNES? And thus, having been unable to provide myself with an adequate answer, I've brought it to this table. Really. Who would pay $25 for an emulator when there are perfectly good emulators like FCE Ultra and NEStopia out there, which are both free? Am I missing something or is Marat Fayzullin just nuts?
Thanks, I hope someone can clarify this for me.

Heh, apparently everyone else is just as mystified about this as I am
