In general it is not. Some people find fractions easy to work with while others prefer percentages. Personally, I prefer fractions because they are precise whereas percentages can entail non-terminating decimals or truncation - either of which can introduce small errors which can build up in complicated calculations.

Having said that, it is easier to compare percentages because the [implied] denominator is the same: 100.
