Basically it supports 64 bits Windows, has a few more features, and comes with a crash analyzer. PyDbg on the other hand supports Mac OS and is integrated to PaiMei. So both frameworks have their own advantages. Also the programming API for PyDbg is much simpler (but still powerful), but WinAppDbg's is more complete, documented, and object oriented. So if I were you, I wouldn't rush to port all my already written code to WinAppDbg :) but if you're about to code something new you might want to give it a try!
