The main thing is that some clients don't support long form notes.

I like what nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe does with Nostur: a tab for long form notes, so you can go there and see what's new from the people you follow. 

That is a good user experience because it happens inherently as part of the established habit of reading notes in your everyday client.
