Personally, I like UML because
- It's easy to get it running,
- I can run it without needing root access, so I can run it on any
Linux machine I have an account on[*],
- I can use it to do things that are limited to root-only, e.g.
* create device nodes on file system images,
* run wireshark to analyze network communication.
- I even use it to debug/develop code for the Amiga Zorro bus, by
adding a fake bus with fake devices ;-)

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
