It's mainly focused at scanned documents and being as lazy as possible. So 
there are some elements that differ from Documents + Simple-scan:
- OCR (I guess that could be added in simple-scan)
- Focus on not having to sort documents in the file-system at all. Not even 
having to name them.
- Automatic labeling of documents when they are added (uses Bayesian filters)
- Fuzzy searches: because exact searches are no good when the OCR messes some 
letters. And you don't
want to waste time fixing OCR results (I assume Tracker can do that do, but 
I've never been really fund of Tracker & such)
- Export: includes OCR text in the output PDF + allows to clean the scanned 
images
