A few differences:

If you git clone, you get a .git folder that pertains to the project template, rather than your project. You can easily forget to re-init the repository, and end up confusing yourself
Caching (if you already have a .tar.gz file for a specific commit, you don't need to fetch it again)
Less to type (degit user/repo instead of git clone --depth 1 [email protected]:user/repo)
Future capabilities — interactive mode, friendly onboarding and postinstall scripts
