What is the difference between Position and CFrame?

Let's say you put the position as (0,5,0).
But wait! there's a part there.
It will go over that part, then.
CFrame will go through anything no matter what, and CFrame allows rotating too, while ordinary rotating will act like position.

CFrame is a matrix, Position is a vector.

CFrame contains a position vector, mind.

Let's talk laymans terms.

Vector3 is wimpy, it's used in sizing and MoveTo (), but if it's used for positioning, then it'll check to see if something is already occupying its assigned space. If so, then it will go just above it.

CFrame is ignorant. It doesn't give a flying noob if something is already there. It will occupy that space anyway. That's why you can have bricks that merge into each other. CFraming is also used in Camera Manipulation

Actually, that is just what they CAN be used for.

CFrames are actually far superior, even without that.
Their main purpose is not to put parts inside of each other. It gives us much more advanced and easier to use methods for determining position and such.

@Jarod: A Vector is just as useful as a Matrix.
