What is or will be different to organic maps, besides the governing? I have organic maps on my phone and I do not see a reason to switch for now.

You probably won't gain much right now, but as the development on Organic Maps has stalled, you might encounter bugs not being fixed, no new features etc. If it stays like that, you'd probably want to switch at some point.
