Better for what? It includes many new features and bug fixes, but scenes 
using these features are not compatible with the official version and 
may not be completely compatible with future versions. It is no better 
or worse for learning to use POV, since the language hasn't been 
fundamentally changed. The Mac version of MegaPOV has a nifty new GUI 
with spline editors and enhanced templates, but some prefer the official 
GUI. Although it contains many fixes for bugs in the official version, 
there are also new bugs that have been added in the process of 
integrating patches or which came with the patches themselves, so it 
isn't really an improvement in stability. It doesn't render any faster 
most of the time, but includes features to make media and radiosity 
compute much faster.
It really depends on what you are going to be doing with it.
