Because "tomorrow" is one key combo away - Shift-Right, and you don't
have to remember today's date and add 1 to it. Likewise, "same day
next week" is one key combo away - Shift-Down", and you don't have to
add 7 to it. YMMV, but this sort of cognitive load reduction is
important to some people, including myself.
