A lot of people like it because it makes development faster. It's like the scripting language of databases: you can get stuff out the door really fast (with the obvious power/responsibility caveats).
This was the main reason why I picked it for a project. Its just sick the amount of code you DON'T have to write to use this database. I literally have 1 class called GenericCRUD with 5 functions that do all my database functions for all my models. Plus not having to worry about stored procedures anymore is a heavy weight lifted off your shoulders.
