CM is a Winboard engine, and so you can play it inside of lots of interfaces
(e.g. Jose, SCID, Winboard, Arena, Chess Assistant...).

CM is very inexpensive, and so you can get a copy for the price of lunch out.

There are some big CM fans, and they get others passionate about it.

John Merlino worked on CM, and he's a nice guy and fairly popular around here.

Probably lots more reasons too.
