asynchronous payments
lightning is synchronous
you can't send to someone's LN address unless there is a server answering there
ecash lets you send a payment like lightning except that it's less anonymous (to the mint) without the recipient being online
mutiny, and some other projects are using this as a bridge to cope with intermittent connectivity for non-custodial lightning payments
