(This is of course my opinion, not scientific fact) The biggest argument for EA is that proper implementation does not get stuck in local minimum. GD and SGD have that tendency, if not in one spot then probably looping between many. Problem with EA by the other hand is that its mathematical model is based on probability which is quite tricky to operate on even for above-average programmer.
