Thank you for the feedback. Fair point: Google's unit conversion is really good. For me, there's mainly two things that stand out compared to using a Google search:

* The REPL: I wanted an interactive terminal-style calculator where I could press Arrow-Up and easily change a few things. It also lets me define my own variables and use them in my calculations. It saves the history so I can come back and press Ctrl-R to find a recent calculation.

* Combination of Web- and terminal version. I often work in the terminal instead of the browser where I can easily use the CLI version of insect.
