I don’t know about ‘better’, but I prefer it for being less fumey, I feel better about occasionally getting some on my skin, and prefer not using petroleum derivatives. I know there’s low fume mineral spirits and I’ve used that for paint cleanup, but i’m not confident it behaves the same for finishes.

I buy the orange stuff by the gallon because I can use it for bike chain degreasing, and woodworking ( as a solvent for oil finishes, etc.), etc.

One common, readily available, relatively unharmful type is citrus decreasers like Citrisolv or similar.
