The useful difference from duct tape is removal. A matte gaffer-grade cloth tape holds firmly, tears straight across without scissors and comes up without leaving the adhesive film behind, which is why it belongs on floors, cables and staging where something has to come off afterwards. Matte finish also stops it catching the light on camera. See duct tape, floor marking and safety tapes.
