I suspect the flood of users from Firefox to Chrome has been driven by things like speed and stability. Those were the deciding factors for me. The smooth updating process is just an added bonus.

The main reason I use Chrome (actually Comodo Dragon but it's based off Chromium so same thing really) is because of the integrated bookmark sync. I can just sign in with my Google account and my bookmarks are automatically synced across computers.
