I suppose it depends on your point of view, which you could probably
determine by thinking about the following situation.

If you have a PC, do you use folders or do you just keep everything on
the C drive?

If it is the latter you will probably not find packages very useful.

They also are somewhat more efficient at handling loading code into
memory, but not so that you would typically notice from a performance
pesrpective.
