Simply because I rarely if ever need it's full capabilities. If I'm parsing error messages, the most I usually need is intostr() and fputs().
Then again, I'm an inverted-size-queen for code size. I tend to shy away from the overly general libc functions towards the more controlled ones, unless I specifically need the functionality of the more complex ones, like to display floating-point functions.

Heh... and I usually avoid printf entirely.
