It's a logical choice given the fact that there are not too many proper
formats for big blobs. I came to the same conclusion a few years ago and
used it ever since.

Funny that some of Apple's own programs didn't seem to support CAF with
all it's features. I remember one time giving a ~70GB recording to an
external studio for mixing and Logic couldn't open a 32 tracks float
format CAF. Luckily they had Audacity installed and extracted all tracks
manually - which took them 2h of paid studio time.. ..a bill I would
really like to send to Apple.
