In JQuery when should you use .bind() over .click() - or any other given event?

Question

I understand the difference between Live and Bind but when should I use use .bind() over a 'standard' event method as shown below.

Are there any key differences in the way these two calls work?

$('.clickme').bind('click', function() {
  // Handler called.
});

$('.clickme').click(function() {
  // Handler called.
});

They're effectively the same. However, using bind() allows you to make use of namespaced events. This is especially useful when writing plugins.
