I'm using it because it supports a use case, testing an elisp with "emacs 
--batch".
The emacs process run for unit testing can tell the test result via exit status;
0 is for successful, 1 is for failure. With ert.el it is possible to integrate 
running unit test to "make check".

If you are interested in, see the new docuemnt for ``ert-run-tests-batch'' in
