It isn't on my home machine :)
Here at work I'm not the sys admin so cannot just remove it. Presumably
someone here uses it ... (although I know for a fact many others feel
the same way as me - In fact one has gone as far as aliasing mc to mv !!)

MC is a tool you can use on an ext2fs partition to recover deleted
files. If you have ext2fs partitions at your place of work, it could
explain the presence of MC. I have also seen someone who uses the MC
interface to edit bash scripts.
As you said, to each his own.
