Oh man...the Node Editor is insanely handy. I use it and have now fully made the move from the Hypershade to the Node Editor. Checking all available connections, creating/maintaining connections and checking data types has never been easier. Plus the whole Nuke style workflow for tab-node creation is super handy. I'd fully recommend it. Sometimes I'll open things in Hypergraph: Connections if it's an insane node tree because both the Hypershade and Node Editor can get a big sluggish when mapping out intense networks. Also Node Editor vs Hypershade, not having to not care whether your swatch updates etc are on/off is pretty handy since I'm pretty lazy and can't be bothered to toggle swatch updating on/off and don't care about looking at shaders 90% of the time.
This is a pretty good overview and comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yi7J7cc00A I checked a couple youtube videos but couldn't find something quickly that was pretty comprehensive...it's actually becoming a pretty deep window with a lot of options with each Maya release so also be sure to check the release notes from the official autodesk youtube channels since there's a ton of information on those too.
