Aug 31, 2013 at 3:44 comment added Colin McLarty I would not call it just psychological. People wanted to understand how much like module categories a general abelian category must be. This was a good answer though it is not particularly useful.

Apr 21, 2013 at 1:00 comment added Pete L. Clark In my (inexpert) opinion, it is indeed mostly of "psychological" use, giving an a priori explanation of why certain contructions that are obvious and intuitive in $R$-Mod can be performed in any abelian category. Since I for one find the basic formalism of abelian categories somewhat tedious, I do appreciate the result for this reason.
