Where I've found it most useful is weeding.
I forget what they're called but we have these wild/selfseeding plants with buttercup like flowers. Since planting up the front garden I don't really want them - or just a few maybe rather than being everywhere.
The hori is probably better than any other tool. My long hoe is less effort for a long period if there isn't much else in the way, but I have a lot of irises, so it's tricky. Plus it's a big with a specific home.
So I think it's that plus being able to use it as an excellent planting trowel which is what makes it attractive.
However, I will say that the Japeto/Ali lux hori feels better in the hand with gloves.
