What is your take: TimThumb vs. WordPress Thumbnails? The great debate [closed]

In my opinion the built in <?php add_image_size( $name, $width, $height, $crop ); ?> function is much more flexible, easy and with less overhead. It does resize-crop, so I don’t see a reason to go back to TimThumb (which I used extensively in the past).
