Does this offer any real benefit over the official list on the sublime package control page?

One suggestion to bring it to at least feature parity: It is useful to display the operating systems that each package supports.

Just a heads up for anyone interested. I've been working on a very significant revamp of the Package Control site that coincides with all of my work on Package Control 2.0. I've been pushing hard the past couple of weeks, with a hopeful launch in the next couple of days.

that is so awesome.

I just do cmd+shft+p > Install Package

That gives you instant search.

The benefit of an online listing is easy access to package descriptions and repositories. When there are multiple packages for a given task, I'd like to know which is more heavily updated and supported. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe there's a way to open the Github page from that menu.

Yeah, I've been aware of a lot of these limitations for quite a while. The new Package Control site solves these problems, plus a whole lot more.

I'm very excited about the launch - with any luck I should have something to show off in the next couple of days!
