Why people recommend it

Pointed to as an example of combining accelerometer and gyro readings from an MPU 6050 to sense orientation in Arduino projects.

Watch for: Gives rotation, not linear movement direction

In their words

From this video [video] it seems like they are using acceleration and gyro to make one rotation direction.
