A few reasons:
(and forgive me if I sound like a marketing weasel)
*Publishing rules - rules are an awesome way to do publishing. The whole
container-rule connection works _very_ well together.
*Caching - easy to use with containers
*Site modeling - this isn't a great reason to advocate container, but using
containers goes along with the idea of creating a well formed SM. This is
something _all_ sites need, not just Spectra sites. One of the reasons I
love Spectra is how it makes you consider the shape and makeup of a site
before developing.
Does this help any?
