Some of the reasons why I use it:
1. Free
2. Very stable.
3. Editing commands for cut, copy and paste work in a similiar manner as most word processors
4. Excellent WAVE to MP3 conversion.
5. Capability to enter metadata into a file.
6. Very nice set of effect tools.
7. Excellent documentation.
8. Have not found any alternative that is easier for me to use. I could do what I wanted in Audacity the first time I used it. Every other editor I've used I've needed to look at the documentation to understand how to use it.

Everybody approaches how they think through a task differently. Audacity's way of performing some tasks works for me but I understand it is not the only way and is not the best way for everyone. Variety is nice!
