Easier to hang, you are never 'lifting' a sheet. Lean on wall, start a few screws, push it up tight and screw it in.

Easier to spackle bevel joints than butt joints, with a better finish: No raised but joints, and no joints 'touching' other joints, so you don't have to wait for anything to dry. Stick on mesh tape, fill in depression, light finish coat, sand/done.
