Why should I use Readers/Write instead of Stream methods?

Hi folks,

What is the pro an cons against using the reading/writing methods of stream based classes instead of using the reader/writer classes? As far as I could see, the only difference is that using the stream methods avoid me to create two extra instances to operate on the data stream.

Cheers,

Eric

Readers and writers are for text-based data. Streams are for binary
data.
