Two words:

mixed environment


In corporate networks it is very common to share the same backend over
both smb/cifs and nfs.

Windows clients can't easily deal with anything other than cifs.
Linux client invariably whinge at length about how the performance of
samba sucks.

Solution: run both protocols, everyone wins.
It only goes south when AD/Kerberos enters the mix.
