I think, as b&w is different than our own vision, it "pops out" more, so esp. in advertisement is used to draw attention.

I normally use b&w only
- when I have a subject with high contrasts which I want to emphasise,
- when the subject is rather monochromatic anyway (as in my snow shots)
- when it fits the subject (e.g. the baskerville dog, or the following pictures)
