With the greatest of respect, of *course* you don't see why people shouldn't compile 
their own source - you're C programmers!

This is rather like listening to a discussion by marathon runners saying they can't 
understand why everyone doesn't run to work.

For my own part, there are some programs I am comfortable compiling and some I most 
certainly am not.  It so happens that CVS falls in the former category (now), but I 
can certainly sympathise with people who put it in the latter.

At the end of the day, people choose to install binaries for one reason: because if 
the program fails to work, then you know it's nothing you have done.
