There's a lot of people complaining "Why use knobs?" and a lot more people giving the reason "Because DAWs use them" without explaining why DAWs use them.

First, it's a visual representation of the value, and it's easier to map "Slightly more to the right" than "an extra 0.7"

More importantly, all DAWs can map physical control surfaces to the on-screen knobs, and control surfaces all use knobs and sliders.
