Compared to Qualcomm’s gpt_backup0.bin + manual offset calculation – Yes, the scatter file is better because it is human-readable, tool-agnostic, and provides partition names and types in one text file.

Compared to Exynos’s pit binary format – Yes, scatter is better because it is editable with any text editor and doesn’t require Samsung-specific tools.
