Probably for the same reason people use any other external synthasizer when 
elequence is available. I used to use it, back when version 2.0 was the 
biggest and brightest thing Henter-Joyce ever came out with. God, I feel 
old... but I'm not. Anyway, granted there was no elequence then, but in 
some ways I found it a little better. For instance, playing games. You want 
to hear what's going on in a game more than you want to hear JFW. If you 
have an external synth, you can just turn it down. If you turn your 
speakers down while you use elequence, that and the game effects will be 
hushed a little more. Yes, it's a poor example... but it's the best one I 
can think of without caffeine.
