At the sweet spot focal length, a good zoom delivers (almost) the same quality as a good prime and on top of that you get to change the focal length with minimum compromise in image quality which is nowhere as big a compromise as having to crop the center of the prime image (AKA digital zoom) because your prime was 50mm when you needed 85mm, you actually had an 85mm prime with you in the bag, but you feared missing the shot if you swap so you shot it with what you had on the camera at that time, example of how primes can suck big time.
