So is skinning. But you don't have to constantly search for nodes or plants and always have an eye on your mini-map.
Plus, with skinning, you can skin mobs other people kill. Talk about something for nothing! Yesterday I switched to skinning, and after I went back to the trainer to level past 75, there were a dozen dead beasts waiting for me as I left Thunder Bluff. And then I just trailed the pair as they went across teh countryside and skinned their discards.
