Cuz they rule.
But seriously, while they're not the most amazing singers or pickers I think they've got a good brand of folk rock goin on. I mean, they really rock, and for me that's what separates them from the pack of bearded hipster indie folk. I also dig their lyrical style. A bit reminiscent of Doc Watson and Townes Van Zandt.
Also, don't know if you're a fan of country(ish) music, but that helps.
Anyway, cool to hear that they're as nice as they seemed when I got my albums signed.
Now it's time for me to be one of those annoying fans and link to one of my favorite songs of theirs:

Yeah, I've heard they have quite the hometown following, but I've met only a handful of people who know who they are.
Now, let me be hypocritical, and ask... can somebody explain the Mumford & Sons' appeal to me?
