Because, AFAIU, with Icicles you still need to type `C-x b` to switch
buffers. swbuff displays a list of buffers and allows you to cycle
through them. I've bound the relevant cycling commands to `C-TAB` and
`S-C-TAB`, so I can just press the control key and hit TAB a number of
times to get to the buffer I want.
I usually don't have too many open files, so most of the time I only
need to hit TAB a few times. Buffer switching is much faster that way
than by pressing `C-x b` and typing part of the buffer name.
I've recently bound `ido-switch-buffer` to `s-g`, making it a bit
quicker than `C-x b`, but I notice I still prefer to use C-TAB.
