I've not noticed a big difference in usability.

I find indentation with the new mode very mildly more annoying than
the old mode.  YMMV on that.  There are probably annoyances with the
old mode that I've now forgotten about.

I'm told by an emacs developer at work that the new mode is more
emacsy in its implementation -- I don't know in what ways exactly, but
presumably that, plus the fact that the new mode is included with
emacs 22, will mean that it's likely to work better with other emacs
code (not that I ever had much problem with the old mode -- but then I
didn't push it very far).
