The Figure Eight provides a quick and convenient stopper knot to prevent a line sliding out of sight, e.g., up inside the mast.

Its virtue is that, even after it has been jammed tightly against a block, it doesn't bind; it can be undone easily.

This virtue is also, occasionally, a vice. The figure of eight can fall undone and then has to be retied.

There is this great site/app created by Grogg Knots that we use on our boat every single day.  Check it out, it's one of the few apps I knew were worth purchasing:
