Gameplay wise, in New Classic we're treated to having focus show your hitbox now which takes a moment to get used to, and for purists you can always play the original which comes bundled for free.
Difficulty

Challenge mode I feel was originally advertised as a way to get new people to try the game on any difficulty, and it can be seen that way; but when you get in game you realize its also a whole new mode in terms of scoring which is awesome.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But it is more fun because you can play in wide resolutions without hurting your eyes, with sharp and distinguished graphics of projectiles.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.

Finally it is possible to play the game without thinking about stretching, alt-tab crashing and 99999 FPS.
Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I also hear it works well on Linux, and I'm sure there wouldn't be any problems running this game on Android either.
