:) I was wondering that myself the other day. Mainly, it is the
process they all have. Sure, they offer bookmarklets, but there is
always an interim screen that gets in my way, and I have to at the
very least, click submit. Others want me to add tags and other
nonsense.
They all hijack the page I am on. So, I click on the bookmarklet, and
a url is saved. The smart ones take me back to where I was before I
clicked the bookmarklet. However, at that point, my back and forward
history is ruined, or at least, more painful.
By saving a local file, I have a file, that I can easily and
automatically sync to all my machines, one keystroke, and I am not
interrupted.
I also pull images into this folder as well, as they tend to get
deleted at the url they were at. I can sync this along with them,
whereas with a bookmark service, I have to upload it somewhere first.
I also like to share some of the files, these are easy to share. If I
share a bookmark service url, I have to spend more time filtering out
the private ones and public ones.
Lots of todo services online as well, I still use a text file :)
This was also a good learning exercise, and fits in the workflow I am
used to.

If I could take a step back and ask a more general question... if your
goal is to save bookmarks in a cross-platform manner, why not use any
of the dozen websites that do just that? I use Delicious (formerly
del.icio.us), which among other features has plugins that let it
integrate directly into IE, Firefox, and Safari...
