Building with it

Two stone give a plate that only players and mobs can trigger, ignoring dropped items entirely. That makes it the right choice for a doorway, where a wooden plate would fire every time a chicken walked past or an item fell nearby.

In practice

A stone plate ignores dropped items and fires only for players and mobs, which is what makes it usable in a doorway. It also stays powered for as long as something stands on it, so it is a switch rather than a pulse and needs no repeater to hold a door open.
