tldr: inertia

Exim became popular many when it was common administer your
own mail host. It was a great improvement over sendmail.
Debian made it easy to configure the common case of mail
through a smarthost. Thus we arrive at the present. I would
choose something lighter next time, but exim does serves my
simple purposes just fine.
