Ghostscript has a script that converts ps to pdf, so you don't need a
proprietary program to produce it. I would agree that it shouldn't
replace ps but perhaps both can be available.
It is not a question of advantage of one over the other. There are a
lot of non-UNIX based people who have the free "acroread" program to
read pdf files; but who don't want to or don't know how to install and
configure gs.
