I've been doing this for years and it is indeed easier to remember. You won't be keeping all your passwords in your head in any format if you're using a unique password per site or service as you should. But you occasionally have to buffer them mentally between your password manager and the input box (especially on mobile), and the same number of bits of entropy are infinitely easier to copy correctly in this format vs something like "?G[G6n|4".
