Basically, Vlad, just laziness. It's easier to type a variable name than formobject.formproperty, it adds an extra step or two to store the variable, and more than a couple of steps to make sure you have the form property, remember the spelling, etc.

In addition, I've had trouble in a few places with arrays not working too well as form properties, so I end up copying them back to local variables.
