I like that I can camp on a slope and leave the flat spots for my 
partner or other hiking friends.

I managed to piss somebody off by setting it up in the corner of a huge
shelter though.. apparently there being gobs of room is no excuse to
do that.  :P

Oh, and though you don't take up much ground space, you do need a fairly
large non-brushy area to set up in.  Or at least I do.  Sometimes it's
challenging to find two trees of the right size that don't have small 
trees growing between them or too close to the line between them for the
hammock to fit into.
