The only operational drawback, and it is a small one, is that you have to
use a bit of care not to snag the leech when hoisting the sail.

I agree with John, the simpler, the better. I sail singlehanded 90% of the
time. When sailing on to my mooring, I furl the jib well in advance, approach
the mooring in irons, drop the main and grab the mooring lines. The main is
then flaked properly.__
I removed the lazy jacks my boat came with and find dropping the main quickly
puts the sail on the leeward deck providing a quick conversion to power with no
windage issues to deal with and good visibility for the helmsman. Flaking the
sail is easy working from the topping lift end of the boom.
