For me, the big win is that released versions of gschem would just crash
from time to time, and had a number of visual "artifacts" when zooming
in/out, etc... all of which seem to be gone from the current
lepton-schematic.  Put differently, to me lepton-schematic is just like
gschem but with fewer annoying bugs.

It may be that there are better gschem bits in git, but as a
distribution package maintainer I *try* to use the released versions I
package whenever possible... so I just wouldn't know.

The lepton-eda folk were also happy to accept my contribution of a tEDAx
output module for getting data to pcb-rnd sanely, and rolled it into a
new release fairly quickly, which I really appreciated as the primary
current maintainer of gEDA-related/derived packages in Debian.
