Because it's faster, when you know the name of the application.... 
personally I make an heavy use of the Alt+F2 (Run Command) dialog 
because it's faster than moving the mouse to the menu, search the 
correct group and browse for the app, the downside is that you need to 
know the name of the app, but for example gnome dialog has automatic 
autocomplection, both dialogs have a nice history, so it isn't that hard

Cheers
