It is shown that the use of the Riemann-Silberstein (RS) vector greatly simplifies the description of the electromagnetic field both in the classical domain and in the quantum domain. In this review, we describe many specific examples where this vector enables one to significantly shorten the derivations and make them more transparent. We also argue why the RS vector may be considered as the best possible choice for the photon wavefunction.
