Being able to get rid of the notification alerts that hinder any functional progress on whatever it is you were doing before the pop-up came along is pretty nice. Also, the notifications from the lock screen information view is very nice to have. From a usability standpoint being able to triage a sms or email ping sound with one button rather than: - button click to end sleep, - swipe to unlock, - another button click to enter sms or email, - (maybe) one last button click to open a message.
