I am a convert to the folding rule for any measurements under 8ft: you can use them as a t-square, you can hook the the end if you burn a couple inches, they're more rigid than tapes, angles, curves, they are unbeatable
I've used one when I was a kid- my dad had one handed down from his grandpa. It was mostly for novelty (and pretending it was a butterfly knife- you cant do THAT with a tape measure) ultimately, it's not seen anymore because a tape measure does everything it does with more ease. If you have very short straight lines to draw, that would be the ONE advantage imo.

when I first started carpentry a folding ruler was required, still own several.
