Computer editing is much easier and more efficient.

The editor may not be able to make certain changes without the approval of the author. It may be easier to mark, spot and collaborate using a paper manuscript. With a computer you need to have all pre and post changes available with post somehow bolded or colored to separate the two.
And some may find it less tiring and straining to use paper.
