It lets you insert pdf images into documents. :)
Additionally:
- allows scaling by percentage
- provides sensible float handling
- allows adjustments to vertical placement for better optical
centering
- can be captioned and labelled
- provides the option to put a frame around the image
It would be exceptionally nice if groff natively handled images in
formats other than ps and pdf, but I don't think that's going to
happen any time soon. For now, it's .ps, or .pdf, or nothing. Not
a huge issue with 'convert'.
