For me the big advantage was
1) impossible to eject mid-read/write causing data loss and possible
damage to drive & disk (folk were _always_ doing this in my

in disk and onto drive - again avoiding damage to disk & drive
Agreed on both counts. And to further reminisce a bit.... let's not
forget all the stories of people who bought Macs that had the power
switch on the front just under the floppy drive, and they would press
the button thinking it would eject the disk, but it turned off the
machine.
