What is the advantage of blackmagic probe over plain ST-Link?

Genuine question, I've never used the ST-Link for more than flashing the image and some debugging, so what am I missing?

It implements GDB stub directly so you don't need to run OpenOCD to be able to attach to it from GDB.

Also UART bridge is nice but this might be supported newer in ST-Link too. I haven't used STLink for a while - flashing all the stuff with blackmagic right away.

Quite sure they do have the UART bridge now, but the black magic probe looks interesting. Thanks for the link.
