That's simple:

   a)  I've used it for many years now and can read and write it
       more fluently that IPA

   b)  I am still using my beloved Emacs for reading this list
       and Emacs still has no decent Unicode support.  Shame,
       but that's reality.  So I often do not see what you guys
       are writing here in IPA, depending on the mood of my
       Emacs.

   c)  Many mailers are still broken, seen in replies to UTF-8
       posts where the characters often become garbage.

FWIW, I can easily type Unicode in my browser.  If I am using it. :-)
