I tend to agree with @wtnhighlander. I can screw up a nice surface with a hand plane and even a card scraper. I’d have to get really violent to do so with sand paper. -

A lot of folks like the surface finish that reslts from a well-tuned plane or scraper, but I tend to hit the wood with sandpaper, even after planing or scraping. I feel like a properly sanded surface presents a more uniform texture for finish, but it is more time consuming, for sure. -

Six hours of this: That's what happens when you go away for a week, it rains the only day free before returning to work, and your backup lawn care provider is out sick. -
I'll agree that this is not a one or the other sort of thing. My current project has some finish-ready surfaces done with a hand plane, some with a scraper, and still others with sandpaper. None of these are more advanced than the others. You want to use the best tool for the job whenever possible. -
Every project and situation will dictate what tools you use. Straight grain - plane/sandpaper. Funky grain like curly maple or some cherry - maybe scraper and sandpaper. It is to your advantage to be able to use all three.
