Google-like interface.
No need to combine sources.
Better arrangements of import features (notes of decisions, history, cited patents, etc).
Also, it makes downloading case PDF files easier.

I heard that when you use it in a firm it's like $10 a click or something. But it's supposed to get you better results, quicker, so that you don't need as many clicks.

I like how you can add notes in the case, and also how you can store sources by folders.
It makes organizing my research easier.
It also does your BB citations for you with pincites. (though i don't know if it's 100% accurate, probably not.)
