The obvious big difference with REST framework is that the API is entirely web browse-able. To me that's quite a big deal - your API can be genuinely self documenting, and it's massively easier to browse, work with, and debug, than it would be if your working from the command line all the time.
There's a bunch of other things I think it does well, from really nice error handling, using Django's class based views with mixin classes, and treating form and json etc input equally as regards validation, but I really need to sit down and write that stuff up properly sometime. (not got the time to go into it right now) And, yeah I would def use hidden form fields to set the method if you need web browser support for DELETE/PUT etc. It's a pretty common pattern, and it's much better than polluting your URL space specifically to cope with browser limitations.
