It's really a more 'integrated' GNOME.  They've put a lot of printer
stuff in there where you can configure printers, and they 'just work' in
other applications.  They've made some significant improvements to Open
Office, both with compatibility and cleaning up the GUI.

While most of their patches will make it into mainline code over the
next few months, it'd be nice to have them now :)  I'm actually most
interested in the Open Office stuff as I currently think that it's
pretty ugly.  They've also put GNOME-VFS support in (which would be
nice).

And yes, they have a new GNOME theme :)

If you want to see the (large) list of things they've done it's pretty
much in this post:
