In the following page http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/hook_nodeapi it says: "If you are writing a node module, do not use this hook to perform actions on your type of node alone. Instead, use the hooks set aside for node modules, such as hook_insert() and hook_form()."
My question is why is it better to use the standalone functions instead of the centralized one?
Node hooks are run before nodeapi hooks. Other modules that are hooking into your node type expect your module to have done its work already.
