Not as fun though. Using the rope adds challenge and builds/reinforces coordination among all four (usually) limbs

Jumping rope also works out the arms a little which you're not gonna get.

I get a pretty good burn by rotating my arms like I'm skipping a real rope. It's good enough for post work out cardio.
