Puts() or Printf() ?

I've been review these two functions frantically. I've written numberous programs replacing printf with puts and it does the same output. I know puts is for displaying strings, but other than that why would I use puts instead of printf or vise versa?

puts() also prints a newline character at the end. Sometimes its easier to type
puts("Hello World!"); than
printf("Hello World!\n"); Only a two keystroke difference though hehe.

Four actually. "puts" is shorter than "printf" by two characters.

Wha? I can save 11 keystrokes!

puts("Hi!");

//edit: Is printf() likely to use puts() in its implementation?

puts() outputs a newline character, so I doubt it.
