I use Diigo because I couldn't live without it anymore ;-) ... no really, because it's one of the most valuable research tools I ever used (I'm doing internet studies, though). And because the Diigo guys create the new features I really appreciate . And because they are very responsive and really pay attention to your problems as well as your suggestions.
