Why do people use pull-pull cables anyway?

Seems to me that pushrods are simpler, stiff enough if you use carbon or whatever, aren't so finnicky to install, etc. etc.

Do people use pull-pull to get tighter, no-slop control? Or because it takes up less room in the cramped aft fuselage?

All you pattern heros, let's here from you.
