An updated version of ADW Launcher does provide a few enhancements, though. Namely, tilt-sensing home screens are now a default feature.
This is good news for everyone. Given that most touch screen phones are easier to type on and hold with two hands in the landscape format, home screens to match are a welcome addition to the overall experience. Another ADW feature, though not enabled by default, is the Samsung Galaxy S style app drawer; shown below, it allows you to scroll through pages of apps like home screens, from left to right. Also the recent apps list has been upated.
Generally speaking, though, users will find few UI differences in CyanogenMod 6 from 5. This updated package appears to include Twitter by default, as well as the latest versions of the various Google-developed apps.

Imagine, for instance, a phone that automatically backs up all your files and data to Dropbox, or uses Spotify as the standard for music playback. Cyanogen wants to build an open platform where these services can play a much bigger role than they currently do as standalone apps.
