It's a decent Unix OS. It's as comfy as any modern Linux distro.
Much nicer than, say, AIX for a development desktop.
What does it do better than Solaris 10, which seems about the equivalent of AIX or HPUX in terms of installation, package deployment, and toolset maintenance (as little as possible).
A newer Gnome, mostly.

Gnome.
