One simple answer... gaming. You cannot play Steam games (most) with the Nouveau driver. Hmm, I haven't found a game yet with issues since the improvements to Nouveau in Kernel 3.8. Can you give an example or two? Team Fortress 2 is one i can think of, which is free as in free beer, so if you have a couple of Tb of internet spare you can go try it for yourself
TF2 works just fine with Nouveau, if you ever see an ilmehtar running around, normally as a scout, that's me. Commits like this show some of the work done back in January to make the driver better for TF2 http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTI2OTg
there are also several other AAA games coming to Linux It has been advised by them that only the priority drivers will work
The most recent 'AAA' game I've been playing on Linux has been 'Wargame Airland Battle' which, in my experience, plays better with Nouveau than the prop. driver.
I must say i haven't tried Nouveau
