Hello, David
One of the big things that Puddletag does that I REALLY like is it lets
you easily choose which columns you want to display. It even lets you
configure your own columns:
If you right click on a heading in any of the columns, a little
button(?) pops up that says "Select Columns" When you click on that,
this is what you see:

This is especially handy if your files have a lot of tag fields, but the
size of your monitor does not allow you to conveniently keep all of them
in view.
Also, Puddletag displays Bitrates in a column. Easytag can sort by
bitrate, but you have to click through the files to see what the
bitrates actually are:

The second to last cool feature I can think of is that you can configure
your own fields in the tag panel, and you can choose the order that
they appear in, how many fields to one line, etc...:

The ampersands are used to make the letter that follows it a keyboard
shortcut to directly enter that field.
I'm finally going to do some testing, and get back to you with some
issues that I have had with finding and replacing in fields with
Easytag. In a nutshell, sometimes when Easytag won't find and replace
stuff that is clearly present in the tags, I will go over to Puddletag
just to do the finding and replacing, and come back to Easytag to finish
my tagging/renaming.
In closing, I just want to thank you for a few things that I REALLY like
about Easytag, that Puddletag CANNOT do:
"Preserve Modification Time When Writing Files"
I uncheck that, so that when I make changes to my tags that do NOT
affect the name of the file, then when I rsync my music collection to my
media server, it gets the modified version. Otherwise, it does not
think that the file has changed in any way...
Also, Puddletag silently changes/removes illegal characters such as "?"
and ":" Easytag gives me the choice of whether I want to allow illegal
characters or not.
