My house was built in 1993 and has popcorn ceilings. It seems more popular in the south.
Another supposed benefit is that it helps with noise reduction. Something about absorbing sound waves in the room...
I'm in the process of removing it one room at a time. The kitchen had a leak from an upstairs bathroom, which then caused the popcorn to fall off the ceiling. I did that one last year.
Upstairs, the roof had a leak which caused the popcorn to fall off in spots.
Removing it is not overly difficult, but it makes a big mess. The benefit is the cleaner look and the ability to repaint the ceiling if needed.
