What part exactly? The worktrees?
If you're just talking worktrees, the benefit is what it says on the tin, multiple parallel working directories. They're a nice to have, not world-changing or anything.
The example in the article is contrived to sell a separate kind of workflow tool in the product he's building. I don't use worktrees like that.
My use case is heretical software development, but sometimes I work with projects that take a long time to build. And even longer to test. Worktrees let me minimize the amount of rebuilding when switching branches, or kick off a full test run and go work in another branch.
