On many lighter aircraft the workload increases trying to get the flaps up to acheive a decent rate of climb.
Not really much different than Flaps 30. There will be times that climb performance may be an issue (high & hot airports), so a pilot may elect to use Flaps 15 since the initial go-around flap target is Flaps 1 rather than Flaps 15.
