Some of us probably want to hear what features it had that NSIS didn't.

InnoSetup is VERY easy to use. It has a program that writes the config file for you. You can go from installing InnoSetup to having a perfectly working installer in under ten mintes. A disadvantage over NSIS is that the installer size overhead is much greater.
