People like it because it is LimeWire in a webapp.

Actually, scratch that -- they like it because it lets them listen to whatever the song they want to listen to, whereever they want to listen to it. As far as I know, nobody has that kind of selection anywhere else.

Youtube does, and is used as a main music player for a lot of people.

Yes, but youtube doesn't have an offline player feature and if it did, the videos would still be larger than Grooveshark audio.
