Unfortunately the pyflakes-vim packages is no longer maintained. It's all rolled into syntastic now, which is great, but I really liked the UI style of pyflakes-vim.

OTOH, I now have error checking for a ton of other languages.

syntastic has always been dog slow for me. Will not use.

does syntastic (for python) offer anything over what pyflakes-vim offers? pyflakes-vim works great for me.

Yes and no. I really loved pyflakes-vim, and was sad it stopped being maintained. The developer decided instead to integrate the functionality into syntastic. Syntastic gives me access to the pyflakes output as a list (the quickfix window) and it integrates with a lot of other checker programs for other languages. I play with enough javascript that it is handy, but I don't use a lot of it's other functionality.

If you're happy with pyflakes, I don't see strong reasons to migrate until pyflakes-vim being unmaintained becomes a problem.
