On the other hand it lends itself to being able to allow those requesting AAR to do real time updates to requests; to do what if planning on the fly without another white board which can be circulated for inputs before being incorporated; to show locked in segments for those Ready airborne (so they don’t end up chasing 200nm across country for tankers that aren’t there; it allows almost immediate incorporation into the ATO and changes; electronic transfer to other media for exchange; and of course storage of the original plan and all messages and changes so that it is available for investigation if something goes wrong.
Apart from that, the whiteboard is better....
