Some possible reasons people like the Caro might be: 1) It is solid 2) It has an excellent reputation at the highest level 3) May actually have overtaken the French in recent years 4) the modern way of handling the Caro is way more dynamic than in the past 5) the advance variation gives rise to highly unusual,interesting positions 6) the Panov attack is not as dreaded nowadays 7) (subjective totally) some e4 players may find it unpleasant to face as it frustrates their desire for a more open game.
