1) It needs about 620MB [1] less of software to be installed
2) The output is much easier to customize than LaTeX's (you can
change your headings fonts to any TTF with a two-line stylesheet)
3) You can make it do more stuff without becoming a LaTeX guru first.
Some people do prefer the LaTeX output. Some others find it a bit old
fashioned.
[1] That's what the "recommended" texlive install amounts to in my
linux box.
