You get a nice pretty screen to login to. You can use XDMCP. You can
allow nice shutdowns without logging in first. You could have a list
of users (with icons or mug shots) to point-n-click from rather than
typing the name.
I don't know if all of these are desirable, but those are some of the
features provided by gdm.
