RA has its problems but it's not an accident that it got so popular, it sounds like you're in denial Haze.
They don't add much to the emulation scene itself but they do add many quality of life improvements that many emulators didn't implement. MAME is on a league of its own but then again it's the biggest emulation project in history, many emulators still don't have simple things like integer scaling or exclusive fullscreen. Somebody who is interested in coding an emulator is not necessarily interested in usability improvements, and so RA appears to fill that void. It's not an accident that it got so popular and it's also not an accident that it is the first to implement this feature in emulation outside of netplay.
