The user side experience of IPS is no doubt very good but is no different from a good Linux package manager like Smart/Yum (with the exception of ZFS features). From a developer point of view these qualities could have been got by far less effort and far less code/complexity.
Actually, it is very different (especially as of build 110) with respect to search capabilities. None of the other, existing packaging systems feature the rich interface that pkg(5) now has for search. In addition, none of the systems feature remote search capability.
There are differences in other areas as well, but those won't be as apparent until later functionality is implemented.
