what is the benefit to use form builder?

Question

Consider that i have a contact form in my contact page,

So why should i use something like laravel collective that is a form builder.

I can simply write down my html codes in contact view like this:

<input class="form-control" name="company" type="text">

instead of this :

{{ Form::text('company', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) }}

What is the benefit?

Cleaner syntax. Compare for example a traditional HTML select vs using Form::select('name', $array).
Integrated CSRF protection.
Integrated URLs to named routes, actions and RESTful controllers of your application. If use routes in your form URL and you cange a route URL all your models will still work.
Form Model Binding to populate form with data from your models.
Automatic form fields population with flash (old) input.

You can also refer to the laravel Documentation Laravel Doc for form Builder
