Normally, the open source version of the tools are useful for the testing phase of the release cycle, like Precise is going to be shortly (for Alpha 1). The is because the newer kernel, that will eventually be supplied in the release, will fail to compile with the official Tools.

But yes, most users would use the Official Tools.
