Is There an Advantage to using Text Frames as Opposed to a Vertical Frame with Text Added?

If you're doing a lot of titling, text, and indentation on a page, is there an advantage to using text frames for text rather than inserting a horizontal frame and then attaching text to it?

Reason I ask is that a vertical frame lets you drag a handle to increase/decrease its height which is a bit easier to adjust layout if you're doing a lot of pedagogical study sheets, etc.

Just curious,
Thanks,
