I could name a few:

      * Because I've been using for a long time and don't feel like
        learning another MTA if i don't have to.  
      * I know it pretty well and I *trust* it.
      * It does everything+ I need it to do.
      * Is so secure that it hasn't needed an update since May 1998 ;).

All those points (except the last, unfortunately) can pretty much be
applied to any piece of software I use (bash, python, vim, Gentoo...)
