No more confusion wether to user /dev/hdx or >/dev/sdx or whatever! Umm, hdx or sdx is a small impact. The real power of /dev/disk is that not-so-technically minded users can go looking for their disk by its name (or less frequently, by their address (e.g. USB drive)). Especially important since any new disk discovered in the scsi layer gets the next free slot.
