Circumstances to prefer mittens over common snowboarding gloves?

I know that if

all things being equal (fabrics, thickness, and insulation), mittens are warmer than gloves.

from this question.

However, I feel like there's was a trend to "mittens" the last years. It's unlikely that this only comes from the fact that "mittens are warmer" cause it's not that of a problem (in common) while snowboarding.

In which circumstances are they preferable over common gloves?

Or is it just a matter of personal style preference?

I ask from a snowboarding point of view:

• Park/Freestyle

  

• Backcountry/Powder

• ???
