Can we say account control? EIGRP is somewhat less resource intensive than link state protocols under some circumstances, and may be more tolerant of certain errors. Since AppleTalk and IPX have been deemphasized, it's harder and harder to justify. Yes, it's topologically more flexible than OSPF and ISIS, but that, IMHO, is not necessarily a good thing for someone who doesn't really understand when not to use hierarchical topology.
