Explain the difference please.

The only valid argument is that "utilize" somehow relates to the employment of things more then "use". Which then I would ask, why not just use the word "employ".

"Utilize" is a redundant word used by people to sound smarter then they actually are.

As I stated above:

Good for "use", but that doesn't make "utilize" incorrect, it just means you have a preference for which word you would like to utilize.
Redundant does not mean incorrect.
