I think it depends of the creator. Most of the time, edge modelers are not good with boxmodeling and vice versa.
The boxmodeling is verygood for beginners in my opinion, because you start with a basic shape which helps you imagine your final shape, where edge modeling asks you to see by advance your final shape.

I prefer the edge modeling technic, because I can control the edge flow a lot better than using the boxmodeling, but at the end, when you have a good shape in both technics, you finish by using the same tools (cut / slice / bridge / connects, and others...)
