It takes up less space inside the car, wastes less energy in the driveline, has lower mass and intertia. It has a slight traction advantage in very slippery conditions, is more stable when sliding sideways, and can get unstuck easier by steering the driven wheels from side to side.
Other than that, RWD is pretty much superior at everything.
