The only real advantage would be that you would not have to keep track of which month it was. You would only have to know when January first was, or the beginning of the New Year, (since January, February, etc aren't used in the Julian calendar). It is also useful in determining the numbers of days since something has happened, or until something is supposed to happen, (like Christmas, etc.). But only for the current year, as the next year the count starts all over again with Day 1.

Which are the twele months in gregorian year?
The twelve months in the Gregorian year are January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December. They are exactly the same months as the months in the Julian Year. The difference between the Gregorian Calendar and the Julian Calendars have to do with the calculation of leap years. In The Gregorian Calendar, leap years do not occur in years ending in 00 unless the number preceding the 00 is divisible by 4. This keeps the calendar the same for sunrise and sunset at about the same throughout the year. The Julian Calendar makes no exception for the difference in the difference between the slight difference between the solar year and the calendar year. It is far easier for a computer to calculate dates for ancient astronomical phenomena using a Julian Calendar than using a Gregorian Calendar. It is of course then quite easy for a computer to translate the date to a Gregorian Date.

Over the course of 1,200 years, the date of the vernal equinox had advanced by ten days. Since the Roman Catholic Church used the equinox to set the date of Easter, they considered it undesirable for it to be continually getting earlier in the year, so a change to the calendar was ordered by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. The Julian Calendar is exactly 365.25 days long. Therefore, every fourth year, an extra day is added, called leap year. An actual solar year is 11 minutes less than 365.25 days long. The Julian Calendar gained three days every 400 years. The Gregorian Calendar was adopted in the 16th century which dropping some calendar days, in order to realign the calendar and the equinox times.
