Opening 2♣ is not my style. 4♣ is Minorwood. End of a short story.

Easy
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

The notes call this bid Gerber but the truth is that the auction would not be any different playing more traditional methods, where a jump after a 2♣ opening sets the trump suit and asks for aces/keycards. The traditional method does give the advantage of Responder knowing that clubs are the trump suit but as they are just answering a specific question, that is not particularly important. So my question is simple - what has Gerber gained over the traditional approach?
