Open source, assembles itself (no need for a compiler to rebuild).
Fast.
Multi OS.
Multiple output formats from any version (including making .EXE w/o linker).
Nice simple IDE w/ FASM built-in for DOS w/ syntax highlighting.
Nice docs and excellent forum (IMO) with lots of examples.

I'm not saying I hate NASM or most (any?) other assemblers. But FASM is indeed pretty powerful.

Yeah, but if you can just redirect to NUL, why add -q just to do the same? (I mean, it's fine I guess, but the whole "no cmdline options" thingy seems to be disappearing pretty quickly ...). For now, just do that or reassemble without that part.
