Easier to learn and use, yes.
Parents had no problems with it either.

The entire sum is broken down into small pieces, and is far less prone to confusion.
Setting out is faster as well.
They taught us both systems, the traditional system producing mistake after mistake. The Chinese square has produced no mistakes in all the years I’ve used it.
Hope this helps. :)

Lattice multiplication is Chinese?
I didn’t know that.
