I mean SPECIFICALLY what is better?

I enjoy that, in Q2's edit: Vader is not mentioned; the suit is not shown; and Padme doesn't die.

I would like for him to include a Kerr-style Palpatine "sith-reveal", but only if it looks good. Many other edits that have done this don't implement it very well.

For one thing FOTJ Episode III had far more noticeable video and audio cuts than LOE. Q2 also took out the "I hate you!" line. Say what you will about the rest of Hayden's performance but that line was incredibly powerful and was delivered pretty damn well. It really comes down to the LOE's superior and quite frankly more professional editing in comparison to FOTJ episode III. 

It's been a while since I watched FOTJ Episode III and I have no interest in watching it again unless Q2 releases a v2. 

 I disagree about the noticeability of cuts. I've watched FOTJ 3 many times (and recently) and I don't immediately recall a scene that was obvious it had been cut. Maybe only the first line given by Anakin as we don't see his face delivering it, since Q2 wanted to have Obi-Wan appear onscreen first.

A noticeable amount of people who reviewed it noted there were more visual and audio cuts that were noticeable in comparison to the first two. We're not making it up. The way the fight scenes flowed and the exchanges of dialogue were all wisely edited for the sole purpose of the edit. Something I can't say about FOTJ Episode III. In that edit the actual edits seemed more personal. 

LOE has places where there is lots of action with not enough dialogue. The initial space battle carries on for far too long when there's nothing to gain by it, and showing R4 die when we don't care about nor notice him isn't important to keep. 

For one the space battle over Coresaunt was shorter than the one in FOTJ. Secondly, Hal most likely showed R4 dying for continuities sake. 

 Having Padme die in LOE creates an EU-nerdy argument about why Leia remembers her when Luke doesn't; FOTJ remedies this by having Padme go into hiding with Leia.

This is a vile and odious lie! Hal inserted a scene from another movie with Natalie Portman holding a baby which signified she didn't die in his edit. 

I can't believe you picked that one inconsequential line from Anakin to specifically point out you didn't like being cut. I find the fact that Anakin was trying at length to kill Obi-Wan makes it quite obvious that Anakin hates him. That one line being in makes little difference.

This isn't some obscure line; it was the line that was suppose to bring the full weight of everything that transpired in the trilogy on the audience. And I can't believe you outright lied about something just as an attempt to win a point. And there were other lines he took out but the removal of the "I hate you" line was the most egregious.
