Why do we use forever/pm2 with cronjob/crontab(s) can do the job better?

When I started my node project I was asking myself this question. When I went to launch my project I realized I had an issue with my socket implementation of phantomjs (specifically phantom-node). As it turned out it was just my settings.Now I am running under LaunchD (OSX updated version of cronjob/crontab) its much-much faster and less child processes.Since this is only my 3rd major attempt at a middle sized project why these tools are not as widely touted? Or was my research too narrow?
