It's just a back-end detaching from Transmission. One benefit is to allow the user choose the favorite front-end. Actually in the case of daemon + Clutch , Clutch WebUI should be put into a web server to run that. Please note that Clutch doesn't pertain to Transmission package. Furthermore Transmission-daemon is not a system daemon/service. It's just a session daemon started by the ordinary user in command-line. Although it has a name of daemon but I think it only means running in the background.
