File size.
I run a service that requires our customers to install our Javascript snippet on their page.
Migrating away from require.js reduced file size by ~20%.

It's a little ambiguous when using something like Smash, since you're not actually importing a module onto a variable.
For example, check out this random file from D3 source: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/blob/master/src/interpolate/i...
As someone unfamiliar with the codebase, it's unclear to me where many of the variables are coming from (d3_interpolate, d3_rgb_names, d3_interpolateRgb, etc).
It'd imagine it makes managing dependencies a bit trickier.
(I don't use it myself, due to the current project being too large, so I use require.js in conjunction with amdclean which removes a lot of the module loader overheads.)
