Why do they always recommend that you restore you iPhone to factory before jailbreaking? Why not just jailbreak over your current install?

Dunno, i jailbroke dozens and never backed up and never lost anything. Better safe than sorry i guess.

So I'm a relatively new iPhone user and have enjoyed the experience thus far. What are some reasons for jailbreaking?
