I don't know if it's some kind of nostalgia factor (since a lot of old 16-color EGA software used it, I think), but I find ordered dithering output strangely appealing. I have also used it sometimes where size mattered more than style on the assumption that GIF/PNG compression rates would be better on ordered dithers. ImageMagick can do a lot of dithering styles and it's fun to play with.
