Pews offer comfortable seating at a very good price - generally between $55 and $80 per lineal foot, delivered and installed.  Kneelers will add to the pricing when they're required.  People spread out and enjoy the comfort.  Fire code allows for approximately 18 inches per person, while comfort dictates between 20 and 22 inches per person in a pew.  The standard row back to pew back dimension for pews is 36" with 12" of clearance for the row between pews to form the walkway.

The main disadvantage of pews is they offer little flexibility.  They are very difficult to move since they are anchored to the floor and heavy.  Moving pews might be required to accommodate a large wedding party or a large church choir.  Some churches are selecting chairs for the front rows and sometimes in the back and using pews for the rest of the seating.  A great combination of comfort, tradition and flexibility.
