For me the advantage was I couldn't get my head around Exim.  I was trying
to get mail delivery to a file and trying to get smtp auth set up.  Under
exim, I finally got mail delivery to a file (not connected to a user) and
gave
up on smtp auth.  With postfix, it was all easy and done in 45 minutes.
