It's not more effective technically, or perhaps only slightly in some metrics. In some ways it's much worse, like encoding speed.
People like it because it has better licensing.

Current reference implementation's encoding speed is much worse.
That is definitely going to change when real optimized encoders are written, especially since all the major CPU/GPU manufacturers are part of the Alliance for Open Media.
