How exactly does this benefit us?
I.e., USE CASE.

More mordern OpenGL features as I read it.

What you say is equivalent to saying "because it is better".
What I am asking is "why does that make it better?".

It's required for OpenGL 3.0 support. I think MSAA support (which Arlie had in an experimental repo) is the only other feature currently missing. (if you add S3TC lib and compile with float textures)
Edit: 1 example i found on the web of it being used - http://prideout.net/blog/?tag=transform-feedback

With it you can store what you generate on the GPU. Think deformable terrain for example, without having the cpu do transfers at any point.
