As far as I can tell, the differences are:
  • You can't compile a plugin based on the file's location. I.e. All your plugins will be compiled using the same includes and compiler and places the .amxx file in the same location regardless of where your source code is.

    In the first example of my thread, it allows me to compile plugins for the server in which I'm currently editing (useful when writing plugins for multiple types of server or servers that you want segregated). The method shown in the thread is more like the second example in my thread.
  • The console output is inside of Notepad++ (something I don't like; it takes up too much room; when I need to know what other errors there are to fix, I simply compile again, especially useful when errors are cascading).
  • It requires a non-standard plugin (I couldn't find the option that is referenced above). If it is truly a non-standard plugin as I expect, you should clearly state it as a prerequisite.
