Azure-devops-docs: Why would you use this as apposed to the Azure App Service Deploy task

[martingbrown]

This task superficially looks to me like a sub set of the Azure App Service Deploy task. Is that because this is the "old" way of doing it? Should we be using the Azure App Service Deploy task instead?
