CF cards used to be quite superior to SD, which meant that any pro around usually had about five hundred of them in their camera bags. Therefore, swapping to SD didn't make any sense, especially as there's little space to be saved. Personally, I also prefer them to SD cards as they're physically larger and therefore harder to lose. This can be important, especially if you're out in the dark in freezing cold. The smaller the card, the easier to lose with your frozen fingers.
Makes sense... although, it's a little weird seeing half of Nikon's lineup using SD and half using CF.
I always hated CF cards because they reminded me of a wafer or something, but I can see why the bigger dimensions would be preferred if you do any kind of real work.
