For me, it's just nice to have an easy to boot system w/ storage - takes me a few minutes to setup and then I've got a thumb disk I can boot for rescue disk or a dns server or web server or vim w/ my vimrc/plugins, etc. Also an image doesn't (by default) give you local storage on your thumb drive - you've got to script the boot process to look for free space and add a partition or mount a previously created partition if that's what you want which is a pita/brittle. Knoppix is great if I don't have my stuff w/ me, but isn't really a replacement. I also don't like burning disks if I can help it. But if you like images, there are android apps that emulate a cdrom (somewhat) and things like isostick (see amazon).
