I prefer it because my prints are more durable and ABS just seems to have a better quality than the PLA prints I’ve made. I’ve made stuff for outdoor use and PLA is biodegradable, whereas ABS is not to the same level. One of my prints has been buried in the ground for over 2 years now and still going strong, made from ABS.

My printer is enclosed so it handles ABS fairly well. A lot of consumer printers are open so ABS isn’t well suited for them so most people still stick with PLA partially for that reason.
