How hard did you look to find what the UI changes were?  They're *much* more
extensive than this simple list.  See e.g. http://wiki.gnuarch.org/BazaarVsTla,
which I don't think is exhaustive despite its length.

Personally, I found that commands such as "baz branch", "baz switch", and making
most commands (including those two and "get") accept URLs made baz much more,
nicer conflict tracking, annotate, and so on made it much more pleasant for me
to use than tla.  branch and switch in particular made a *huge* difference, I
found myself using them regularly as soon as they were introduced.

Perhaps those UI changes don't interest you, but to me, they were a significant
improvement.
