Well, if you think you id/classes are easier,you use those. which one (class/nth-child) to use is your choice. but nth-child can do some cool stuff, like i did in this example, which is simply a lot more work with classes.
Also, nth-child and nth-of-type are useful if you have a unknown number of elements, and you need to target a 4th element, or a 4th paragraph (nth-of-type)
