The reason AVI is so prevalent is because it is an open container. Since the only requirement of an AVI is for the audio and video to be interleaved, you can put just about anything inside it. This means you can have any type of video or audio compression in any combination. This makes it very popular with just about every frameserver and encoding application.

Also, if you are a fan of High-Definition video, once encoded, you don't want to convert that video to mpeg since you would lose some of the quality of the AVI. So it's good to have avi's in their format for storage until you need to convert it for DVD purposes or whatnot.
