A bit of the no one ever got fired for buying IBM. By using the STL containers you can quickly learn a not great, but not horrible API and have a good chance of it being around down the road, your stuff will still compile, api wont change and it might be available on other platforms.

There are some hairy areas though (dealing with std::bind many years ago comes to my mind, but I didn't understand back then that they were basically trying to shoehorn half of Common Lisp into C++).
