They are preferred by many up north for several reasons. Snow slides off them, no ice dams causing water to pool and go under shingles causing damage, they sound of rain hitting them is nice and considered relaxing (sounds like rain hitting skylights), they are very easy to install on homes with basic/simple roofs like A frames, and they are the last roof you home will ever need. However, they can be dangerous. Snow slide diverters need to be installed on the roof over doors and other areas where a snow slide could injure or kill somebody.
