Sure. Basically, InspectorKit is designed to be a little more simple in usage and aesthetics. For example, it does not provide a specialized titlebar, and every pane is collapsible. It also uses Core Animation to animate its panels, and is thus only Leopard+ compatible. And as you mentioned, this framework comes with an IB plugin, making it much easier to design your inspector panels inside IB and test out in the Cocoa Simulator.
