I explicitly don't want to get into questions of what is easier because
we can't answer these objectively. Each person is used to something else
which they consider easier, where the getting used to is a long
mental process depending on personal preference and outside influence.

I can say objectively that one form of workflow is more popular than
another so people would be more familiar with it.
