Regarding cable lacing, it seems more complicated to add or remove cables at different points of the lace, at least when compared to velcro cable ties. However, it is cheaper and does save you time for when you don't have cable ties but do have some versatile string laying around.

I think about the only place that cable lacing is still actually used is in space craft wiring harnesses, where the harness is generally not modified once built. Even then, NASA at least doesn't use the single continuous strand method of lacing. We tie "spot ties" which function identically to Velcro with the exception that you have to cut them if you do modify the harness.
