Rice cookers are inferior in flavor/texture and they take longer to cook, but you can safely leave them unattended and they also save space on the stove. Not every apartment has a range, and not every range actually works, so they can help there too.

My Zojirushi makes rice with better consistency and texture than any rice I've had outside of a sushi restaurant - but then again it's possible I just don't know anyone who knows how to make good rice on a stove

Zojirushi rice cookers do not have inferior texture. That’s why people pay so much money for them!
