What is the reason to use g:textField in Grails if you're already familiar with standard HTML form tags?

If I understand correctly the following two markup alternatives are equivalent:

<input type="text" name="name" value="${params.name}" id="name" />
<g:textField name="name" value="${params.name}" />

Are there any circumstances under which using g:textField would add value? Am I missing something?
