Been using the Pilot G-2 for a little over a year now. Love the way it fits the hand and survives the washing machine!

Ran the last one dry and haven't replaced it yet, so I'm using an old Uni-ball ONYX micro I found in my desk.

I think cost has a lot to do with it, a well known high street stationers has the cheapest online FP at £7.99, or a pack of ten ball points for £5.19, or 30 gel pens for £12.99

And convenience.

Whenever I actually have to resort to using a pen, I will most likely find myself with a ballpoint. I have the uncanny ability to render any pen I use inoperable within minutes to hours of touching it (The same thing that keeps killing my headphones, I'm certain), and those are usually the most common ones in hand when I have to throw the old one into my expanding collection of worthless writing instruments.
