It also allows you to download and use previews, betas, GM and releases of iOS 
and OS X (+OS X Server) to test your software against.
Also old releases of OSX and OS X Server (for pre Lion server you get a one 
year license).

For xcode you don't even need to register a developer account as you can get it 
for free from the App Store (and normally the developer tools through xcode).

Take care
