URL Rewriting contra Making Folders with index files

URL Rewriting contra Making Folders with index files

I hope this is not the wrong place to ask this, but this is driving me
crazy. I'm making a website with a friend.
He've structered everything. I took a look and the site and it said
http://site.com/account/
I thought to myself, good, he is using url rewriting.
So today I found out that there were no url rewriting, he had crated
folders with index files. So the example above would work like this:
Our public_html would have like twelve folders, each containing an index
file. When I saw this, I told him I found it very unprofessional and asked
him to change it. He's telling me that it doesn't make a difference since
the outcome is the same, visitor wise.
What disadvantages are the from using his method contra url rewriting?
One thing that comes to my mind is that i have to change the source of
every css file, scripts etc. whenever I enter a folder.
