Are there any benefits for using quads over triangles?

A quadrangle is just two regular triangles glued together, so it seems like you would only lose information.

From a 3D modelling perspective at least, quads are better at certain editing operations (sliding edge loops, selecting face rings and others). But eventually they'll be converted to tris for rendering.
