How to copy output from a terminal?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Aside from piping output to tee, you can also redirect output directly
to a file.

command > ouput.txt

will redirect stdout to output.txt, overwriting the contents of
output.txt in the process. changing to two right angle brackets will
append instead, and putting a two in front of the angle brackets will
redirect stderr to the file instead... No idea if it's possible to
redirect both stdout and stderr at the same time, either to the same
file or to different files, though my experience is that it's fairly
rare for there to be enough mixing of stdout and stderr you actually
need both to give proper context when asking for help.

Though, would anyone mind explaining why one might want to use tee
over simple redirection?
