Maybe because arial is more attractive at normal sizes?
To each his own. Usually those who think Verdana looks better are seeing
it primarily at small sizes. At small sizes, it looks fine. At normal or
larger sizes, its proportions are rather ugly. Verdana, and its
emulator, Bitstream Vera Sans, are the largest fonts commonly available
at any given size. People who design sites with either as the first font
choice are actually seeing everything larger than normal, larger than
those who do not have these installed. The best setting is none at all,
or else font-family: sans-serif;.
