I can only speak for me of course, but here's why I usually do it this way.

I'm a programmer by trade (and an older one at that) and as such grew up
with tools that allow many and varied ways of text manipulation, and am also
a reasonably proficient touch-typist.  It's easier, and almost always faster
for me to gather the data I need for cards, then use text editors, stream
editors, shell and/or python/perl/ruby scripts to manipulate that data into
one of the importable formats Mnemosyne uses.

When entering more than a couple cards, doing so through the application
would be far slower for me.
