It lets you test your site as it'll appear before even starting the domain transfer. You can bulid the site and test it with the correct domain making sure all links work etc., without having to send visitors to it. Once you're happy, set the domain transferring. If you can make your site work on a different domain (eg. www2.mydomain.com) you can get it up and running, and when you re-point the domain, also add an index page to the oldserver that redirects to www2.mydomain.com. That way, people hitting the oldserver will be redirected to the temporary www2 subdomain at your new server while the domain propogates. Once it's complete and everyone is hitting the new server naturally with www then you can remove the www2 subdomain to ensure Google doesn't pick it up. (You could conditionally feed a robots.txt to block it - but that's more complicated since you don't want it appearing for the www subdomain on the new server!)
