The buntline hitch is my favorite knot. I use to always tie bowlines and now, unless I need a loop, I always tie a buntline.
As the "knot" book says "This knot will not come undone". It takes a little practice to do, but I think it is easier to learn than a bowline.
It's great for halyards, outhauls, attaching shock cord and lines attached to fenders. It's a little hard to untie so I don't use it for temp ties.
