It doesn't show networks that don't transmit their ID, even if you're logged onto them, which makes it harder to compare signal strength, channels, etc. if you have a choice of networks. In all it's useful but I wouldn't consider it essential. It doesn't really do much that any other stumbler program doesn't do.
