Mostly size/capacity, and re-useability. A DVD-R or RW only holds 4.7Gb, while memory sticks these days are widely (and inexpensively) available in capacities of 16, 32 and 64Gb. And while a DVD-R cannot be re-written and re-used, a memory stick can easily be erased and re-loaded with new material.
