There are dozens of services better or at least arguably capable of being better than Craigslist, but their stranglehold on the online classifieds market has made it extremely difficult for anyone to snipe their users; I go to Craigslist because everyone else goes to Craigslist. Another problem is their lack of concern for the bottom line. Craigslist functions off of plenty of revenue, but they aren't trying to maximize it at all. You're not forced to pay for 99% of their service, nor are you inundated with ads on every page. Craigslist "got there first" and now millions of people like my dad are used to the interface, and refuse to switch.
