It is soft at room temp, which makes it easy when the recipe tells you to cream the butter and sugar together.

But using margarine instead of butter is not a good alternative - the make up of margarine is very different to butter which affects recipes a lot.

What is softened margarine?

The major difference is in the formulation, specifically the ratio of saturated to unsaturated fats. Hard margarine will have a higher ratio of saturated to unsaturated fat and therefore will be more solid at room temperature. Soft margarine (sometimes called spreadable margarine) will have a lower ratio of saturated to unsaturated fat and therefore will be less solid at room temperature. At high temperatures (think summer with no A/C), soft margarine may start to separate into liquid and solid phases as the unsaturated fats melt and float to the surface.
