Why is RESTful desirable?

There is a mass of blog posts etc about why RESTful can be a good thing ( even if many get REST somewhat wrong ), I don't think anything is going to be gained by my trying to fit all that information into this small textarea.
Things that can not simple CRUD:
multi step e-commerce order application, games, anything that relies on your previous action to decide what happens now.
a blog doesnt care what I did before, neither does twitter or myspace or facebook. Do this thing, store result. 1 page to result usually. Simple CRUD.
If you do simple CRUD, you probably won't get a ton of value from Seaside/Weblocks. If you are doing applications where stateful is required/desired and RESTful is hard, both will be wonderful to work with.
