At first glance, the new version of Origin has a cleaner look to it and the addition of the menu bar on the left side makes navigation easier. The library is also divided between installed games and those tied to your account, overall, it looks a lot nicer.
The side bar also gives you easy access to any ?On the House? titles alongside demos and betas. You can also quickly access deals and the Origin Access vault, for those who subscribe to the service. The new home screen for Origin is basically a news hub for games you either play often, or might be interested in based on what you already own.
Finally, your friends tab can easily be accessed by a tab at the bottom of the screen, which expands to take up the side of the screen if you make the window wide enough, similarly to how Facebook Messenger works on desktop.
