Why keeping FL Studio even if you don't use it as a DAW for music

Just started to investigate why I should keep this daw when I don't want to use it as a DAW.
So this is what I have found:
- Video rendering with Zgameeditor
You can make music in another daw, then render/create video in FLStudio Zgameeditor for the song
- There's Synthmaker inside FL. If you want to build synths, you can use this. However it's not included in FL 12. You can install it with a separate installer.
- You can use FL as a plugin, so you can use its powerful synths like Sytrus or FL Slayer in another DAW.
-There's a speech synthesizer in FL 12.
You can select personality (female, male, child etc),
Style (monotone, natural etc),
and Mode (normal, breathy, whispered etc).
-Some nostalgic soul can load buzz machines in FL (OK,Buzz adapter is removed in FL12 but you can hack - copy its files from FL11 - unfortunately works only in 32bit and not supported...)
- Lifetime free updates
... what more?

And because you can't sell it anyway.

I would have used the "bingo" meme a year ago, but now I'm really happy I have it. What's the MOST you could get for it used? 75 bucks? Maybe 90 if you are lucky? Might as well keep it. At the very least you can use it as a vst inside your host.

I don't want to use FL as a DAW, I use Reaper years ago.
The best deal for me is Zgameeditor in FL,
so I can create videos for songs.
I think if FL wouldn't contain this, I'd try to sell the account second-hand.
+yes, I can use it as a multitimbral instrument inside Reaper. Yesterday I
reinstalled it and placed it in the folder where my plugin synths are.
I think I won't use it for FL Sytrus, rather FL Slayer. I have no instruments currently that is similar to how Slayer sounds.

+With the VFX Key Splitter inside Patcher, its easy to build a multitimbral setup.

Another reason is that it includes a bit bridge so you can run 32-bit legacy plug-ins inside it and then use it with another 64-bit host via rewire or the FL VST.
