There are advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages include:

Better sail shape.
Stays where you put it... doesn't unfurl.
Doesn't jam.
Doesn't disturb the air flow as much as a bulky furler.
Better to learn with because you among other things
you get upfront and personal with the sail, just like
you do with the main.

Disadvantages include:

You have to change sails as the conditions change, even if
it's not a critical change. So, it means going up on the foredeck,
with all the safety issues that that entails.
Not quite so easy to bring a hanked on sail down effectively
and efficiently. It's easy to dump it in the water.
