It is easy and fast to create animation with Timeline Effects. This makes animation possible for the beginner and it makes animating much, much easier and faster for the pros. So the advantage of animating with Timeline effects is that it is easy, quick and you don't need a lot of technical knowledge. Many beginners find Keyframes, Tweening and Nesting confusing. Timeline Effects by-pass all of this opening up the world of Flash animation to the beginner.
