It has given a distorted view of what language is,
placing priority on rules rather than on functions of communication.
Language is not a math. (Is there such a thing a 'traditional grammar'?) Though grammar can help, in the same way maths can help in Biology or other sciences.
The grammar of English is constantly changing (oxymoronically). Though, one could argue that there is a universal grammar, as was thought in the Baroque and Classical eras, more esp. with music. Form played an important role. Yet music at that period was never without its 'variations on a theme' to hint at the variegated nature of communication, in the same way that grammar rules are never without their 'exceptions'.
If you ask what are the advantages of having grammar rules I'd have to say
they serve, in second language teaching, to explain, in a more simplified manner,
the tendencies and trends of the language one is teaching.
Therein lies the danger, if one is a dogmatic grammarian-like teacher, that rules
come before the language.
Perhaps every rule is there to be broken, but only once you've mastered all the rules--
something which was thought only to be done by the native speaker...
But in the small world we live in, where English is going global, who knows from where the influence may come next.
Don't let 'Grammar' get you down! Say it like you mean, mean it like you feel!
