It definitely is.

If a recipe calls for 3 and 3/4 cups flour, I know right away I need three 1 cup scoops of flour and one 3/4 cup scoop.

If it calls for 15/4 cups, now I need to calculate how many one cup scoops it is and also what the additional remaining fraction is in addition to how much I've actually measured out so far.

The more numbers you need to keep in your head when following a recipe, the more likely you are to make a mistake.

Just use a quarter cup scoop, less dishes.

Takes longer and compounds errors

If the error matters, you should be using weight.
