The case is simple: there is no compelling theoretical argument against a cosmological constant and LambdaCDM is the only CDM model that is consistent with all present observations. LambdaCDM has two noteworthy features: it can be falsified in the near future (the prediction q_0 sim -0.5 is an especially good test), and, if correct, it has important implications for fundamental physics.
