According to:

.htaccess files should be used in a case where the content providers
need to make configuration changes to the server on a per-directory
basis, but do not have root access on the server system. In the event
that the server administrator is not willing to make frequent
configuration changes, it might be desirable to permit individual users
to make these changes in .htaccess files for themselves. This is
particularly true, for example, in cases where ISPs are hosting multiple
user sites on a single machine, and want their users to be able to alter
their configuration.

However, in general, use of .htaccess files should be avoided when
possible. Any configuration that you would consider putting in
a .htaccess file, can just as effectively be made in a <Directory>
section in your main server configuration file.
