Questions about "Live View"

To this day, I have not used the Live View feature on my T2i.  In reading the manual, I see they recommend the use of a tripod.  Why would a tripod be of any more importance when shooting in Live View than when not in Live View?

What are the advantages of shooting in Live View?  I would think one would either like to use it ALL the time, or like me, not at all (yet).

Then, is the Live View of newer Rebels, specifically the T3i, any better/easier/more reliable than that of the T2i?

Thanks.
