It's not clear to me in what ways this is different than Trello apart from the flatter UI -- care to clarify?

At the moment, not a lot I must confess :) We're still in MVP, and learning a lot as we go on what features are important.

Currently planned: Integrations with source control (GitHub, BitBucket etc), the ability to pull in contextual data from third party apps (Sentry, HoneyBadger), the ability to escalate tickets from support to the dev team from Zendesk, Uservoice etc. Plus support for more dev focussed workflows, planning, reporting etc

What about support for estimating stories? That's a big part of the reason why we don't use Trello where I work.

Yeah definitely, we used Pivotal Tracker for a long time ourselves. There's a lot to be gained, particularly from a scheduling and reporting perspective, by having estimates but without the strict sprints of Pivotal.

On this topic, it would be great to have some kind of gantt chart UI for scheduled cards.

not exactly estimating, but I built something to let the team vote on items in a Trello list. We usually vote more along the lines of "bang for the buck" ie importance/estimation http://blog.forcerank.it/tame-your-trello-backlog
