It is more intuitive. (Normal) people don't define colours in terms of RGB, but
rather in terms of the hue (greenish, blueish, warm, cold), how bright or dull
the colour is (i.e. saturation) and how dark or light it is.
Let's say you create a colour in RGB, but find it too saturated. Decreasing
saturation in RGB is difficult, without compromising the hue and/or lightness.
In HSL, I first find the hue that suits me (decreasing the H value if I want it
to be warmer, increasing for colder). Then I start tweaking S and L, while
retaining the original hue. Opinions may vary, of course, but I find this
approach easier.
