Description
I'm trying to sort out the difference between this module and Views Attach. A quick comparison seems to suggest that Views Attach might be a little more sophisticated and dynamic but Insert Views a little simpler.
Any other comparisons?

with insert_view you can insert a view into node body, inside the text
with views_attach you can add a view to your node and user pages, between fields (if you have cck)
with views_attach you need to set up the view as required, while with insert_view there is no restriction.
As I know with insert_view you can not cache the node, with views_attach you probably can.
With insert_view you need to understand the syntax of the filter, with views_attach you need to understand the new views settings.
you can use views_attach with features (as you can export the view), but you can not export the insert_view settings as you would need to export the node body.
what else? ...
