 * It's familiar but also new-n-improved (whiter, brighter, softer).  People
   get scared if presented with too much change.  They like `upgrading' (even
   if only in name), not switching.

 * The somewhat-stodgy-vaguely-corporate-feeling (I've no idea what the
   actual organization is) development process gives people warm fuzzies that
   it's `safe.'  It's like CVS, but all grown up!

 * So does the apparent connection with the old CVS hackers (who're now
   respectable citizens).

Ok, a bit heavy-handed, but well, you get the idea.
