How does Etcher differ from other burning Methods?

[giri@nwrk.biz]

Here on the forums it is often recommended to burn images using etcher.

 

I am now wondering how etcher differs from for instance using dd or Win32Diskimager.

 

Thanks in advance,

after burning the image, it does check the SD card for errors, others do not.
