The biggest differences (I found) is that Toonboom has an actual camera and a Z axis, it is easier to add inbetween drawings by switching to a drawing mode, it also has nodes (like Mayas' hypergraph), and pegs to group characters parts together. It's kind of a 2D/3D hybrid. Far more things to list here.
