Ability to see the power of a thematic "system" that can be used against a wide range of defences
Ability to play an opening system which has very low memorising requirements and more emphasis on understanding ideas
Ability to follow in the footsteps of Bobby Fischer who had many beautiful wins with the King's Indian Attack
Ability with 1. e4 to have something against the whole of the French defence which can be a really annoying solid opening to play against :)
Ability with 1. e4 to have something against early e6 in Sicilian defence avoiding theory of the Taimanov, Kan (Paulsen), 4 knights, and Pin variations

Ability with 1. Nf3 having own pet territory and plans against anything black does
Ability to impose a "Keep it simple" philosophy when playing against 3 major replies to 1.e4 - the Sicilian Defence, French defence and Caro-Kann

Ability to become a grandmaster without much opening theory and potentially retire to the Bahamas like David Norwood :)

Ability not to be checkmated with the idea of having to memorise tonnes of opening theory - the King's Indian attack requires minimal memorisation

Ability to have something against 1...e5 which is King's Indian like and used by GM Glek with good success
