what is the advantage of using viewmodel commands as compared to the view's click events in xamarin forms

Question

I would like know the advantage of using commands in viewmodel in xamarin as compared to the click event handlers in the view class. Click events seems simpler to use. Please point out the pros and cons of both approches.

Thanks
