For me, it's not about 'ease' so much as 'my tiny stovetop only has 3 small burners and 1 large'... and with a big pan already on the stove it just doesn't fit. :)
I also like the idea of just popping in the rice, water and magically rice appears without babysitting the stove at all... going directly to 'warm' afterward sounds like perfection. >On the topic of rice cookers - I have two that were given as gifts.
