There are plenty of reasons to do so server side, log files being the most common. I use sniffing to determine whether I should serve up XHTML 1.1 or HTML 4.01.

Even client side, the use of @-rules to hide CSS from certain browsers, and for that matter, all CSS hacks, are a form of browser checking.

Also, many mobile phones use the wrong style sheet (screen instead of handheld). Browser sniffing is a way around that.
