If you're using your network to support multiple clients, you may want multiple VLANs that can't talk to each other, but can both access some shared resources. Layer 3 switches give you the basic infrastructure to do so.
Other potential benefits of using layer 3 switching include greater performance, security, and quality of service. In a sense, switches with layer 3 capability are like a partial hybrid between switches and routers. They're designed for speed and also make decisions on how to route traffic at the network layer.
