Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but that's exactly what I do. Their wonderful introductory essays and footnotes allow one to get so much more out of the book than the raw text alone. You may perhaps have noticed that almost all the proof-read classics that I've uploaded to the MR library have been proofed against the "Penguin Classics" edition.
