Whut? Seriously. The only difference between this and the "quick reply" is that the quick reply already has a box to type in on the page of the thread you're reading - a grand total of one click's difference in practical access.

One click, a page reload, and a change in how preceding posts in the thread are displayed.
That last, I suspect, may be the motivating factor here, particularly on small displays like phone displays, or for folks who haven't quite formed their posts in their heads by the time they make the "Reply" click.

If the point is to make a reply and not to read or quote other posts, I really don't see how it makes much of a difference other than having to take a few more seconds to load a page; the size issue obtains in either case, and since a quick reply divorces the reply from any post, it's the access to the reply text box that seems to matter.
Irrelevant, whatever the case, as we see above.

As it's already implemented, and I didn't see it, it is irrelevant, just a suggestion.
For those who are wondering the benefits,
It's a simple, eliminate one click. And allows for easy see what everyone else said before you finish replying. It also helps when moderating a forum, or replying to multiple threads extremely quick.
I help on many forums, and I instantly look for the quick reply, as it's fast. Also with a bit of tweaking, can be done via ajax(a javascript construct),which reduces it down from 2 page loads, to 0 page loads.

Trying to understand how that last would qualify as a "reply" in the first place - wouldn't you need to see the posts in order to reply? Maybe that's just me, as I prefer to see what people are saying so I don't duplicate what's already been said or chime in on a discussion that's already been completed. And if I am replying, I also prefer to use the "quote" function so that subsequent readers know precisely which post and poster I'm responding to. Seems YMMV.
