In my case, the main disadvantage of the browser-related downloaders (as 
opposed to a command line utility) is that I have a hard time scripting them. 
If I am given 100 YouTube links to download locally, am I supposed to 
copy/paste the addresses one by one into those 
plugins/websites/javascripts/whatever? Really, the simplest way is to create a 
bash script:

#! /bin/bash
youtube-dl -t <url1>
youtube-dl -t <url2>
youtube-dl -t <url3>
...

and let it run. That's my main reason for using youtube-dl. Then again, my 
usecase is not very common... ;-)

Best, :-)
