I sort of have the best of both worlds. My graded cards are all in boxes, but since I've scanned the front and backs of each and created digital albums (thanks PSA!), I can view them anytime I want from the comfort of .... well, anywhere.
My as-God-intended-them-to-be cards are in binders (front and back visible), so those are easy to leaf through as well, but I don't tend to since that would require me getting up from my comfortable place.

To tell you that Larry he would have to get out of his comfortable place and go look.

I definitely think it is better to have sets in binders. You look at them more and it just looks more like a library when you have all of the sets archived. I have complete Topps sets from 2017 down to 1964 with all of the traded and update sets. I have them organized on the shelves and really like them that way.

I have my sets in binders going back to the 1930's. If a card is part of a set that I have no intention to complete, then I will keep it in a box (which usually means that the card is graded). The only cards I keep in boxes are duplicates.

The utility and accessibility arguments are all pretty reasonable, but there is something about a stack of cards - ungraded and slightly sleeved - in an old box that does it for me. I store all of my sets in snap-together index card file boxes with tag slots for the name and year. I admit that I don't dig into the boxes as often as I once did, but I think more often than if the sets were in binders on a shelf - which, when I tried it, reminded me of the SOP manuals I was required to maintain and read at a workplace I loathed...maybe an unusual experience.
