The answer I have always gotten when I ask this is "because I want to  
still play around with my enlarger and chemical process". Its not an  
argument that  moves me personally, but it seems to be a common  
feeling among the "chemicals on my hands" crowd. However, their  
enthusiasm is somewhat dampened when they find its a contact-only  
process, since that eliminates much of the enlarger functionality.
