Pd? The main reason would be easy software mixing-- for example, you could watch a tutorial on youtube and get sound out of a running instance of Pd without doing any configuration whatsoever. (At least that's what Pulse Audio claims-- I haven't used it so much.)
It's hard to stay polite about this, for me it has never worked correctly, the best way to have sound always going out from audiocard on linux/ubuntu is about removing pulse-audio, since ever, everytime.
It's hard not to get political about this, but for me pulseaudio has always worked as expected and it basically freed me of hassling around with Linux audio issues. The only hassle about it are softwares like Pd that prevent it from working silently by not supporting it.
I know, everyone mileage varies.
