Is there any reason to use css box-shadow over drop-shadow?

Question

Assuming client compatibility, is there any situation where CSS box-shadow is preferable to filter: drop-shadow.

From the article it seems

Answer 1

There is only one difference between box-shadow and filter: drop-shadow. With box-shadow you can use inset shadows, but you can't do it with filter: drop-shadow. All depended on you. Check this example.

Why is better to use box-shadow insted of filter: drop-shadow?

• Better browser support
• Most of developers use it
• Less code, more options
• You can use inset shadows
• You can use more than one shadow

Also, there is one example with image where is better to use filter: drop-shadow. The first one has rectangle shadow, but the other one has shadow which follow the edge of image.
