Root Why Link2SD if the ROM will "Move to SD Card"?

I recently rooted and put the Backside ROM on my phone. Previously, there were many apps that could not "Move to SD Card", the button was grayed out. With the Backside ROM, anything can be moved. So I'm wondering... what's the benefit to Link2SD if the ROM has this capability?

Thanks!
 
The ROM is only capable of moving the app in the conventional way. It doesn't link them directly, so the app is slow to open and is not as responsive.
Link2SD links the apps to the system much better and as a result, they open and responed like an IPhone or other high end android device.
Link2SD will also allow you to move even more apps to the sd card (it puts them in a partition that you have to make).
I have 104 downloaded apps. I have 123MB of space still left on the internal storage. All my apps open faster than ever before.
