As someone who just started using os/x I can say there's a big
difference :) The preview tool is quick and easy, and allows you to see
a document almost immediately on even a slower machine. I've only
really seen it in use with pdfs and images, but the difference of
starting up "preview" and starting OOo, Word, or photoshop are marked.
Also, with a single tool used for viewing all sorts of different
document types instead of several different programs, it is cached so
there is less lag of loading programs into memory.

Aren't the plugins going away with the 2.6 spatial nautilus?
