I can tell you why I do, but not any of the others: I don't use the
comma or the semi-colon -- I can see what's in the current line and
don't need to search it, let alone repeat that search -- not only do I
use comma as the mapleader, I remapped the semi-colon to the colon,
because I use the colon all the time to get to the ex command line and
with it mapped to the semi-colon I save all that energy I might have
expended pressing that big old shift key

I don't use them enough to permanently map them -- I have things I do
with my F-keys that I do much more frequently than :cn and :cp, and I
happen to like the little message that pops up when I run that function
