lens - Why do some people prefer 50mm to 35mm prime lenses, even for a crop sensor?

Comparing the two lenses for an APS-C sensor:

1. EF50mm f/1.8


2. EF35mm f/2

here

Leaving out cost as a factor, EF 35mm has the following advantages:

• 43 degree while 50mm has 31 degree


• Its equally fast with f/2 comparing f/1.8



• Can make total kit compact with single lens than with 50mm and another wide angle lens.

Even after these advantages why do some people prefer 50mm as their 2nd lens to kit lens?
