In Short...
IPv4 is simple enough that people can understand and implement it. It is flexible and robust enough that it has been possible to apply it in areas it was not originally intended for, and change it without breaking everything. It has even become relatively easy for nontechnical users to configure. Hopefully, IPv6 has picked up these good qualities of its older sibling.
