NSIS installer

I just stumbled on NSIS today, which look like a cool installer tool
(I particularly like the facts that, unlike MSI: 1. you have small install
bundle, 2. you could ship multiple language in 1 installer)

Does any of you uses it?
What about the .NET boostrapper?

I mean when you create and installer/MSI with VS.NET it automatically detect
the .NET dependency and direct you to this page.
Could something like be achieved with NSIS?

what I like even more is that, unlinke MSI, it seems to be well documented
and community supported ;-)
