Because it removes the redundancy in the module object names, yes.  As
for any other qualities the 'wx' package might have, I can't say; if
it's exactly the same functionality and call styles as the existing
wxPython.wx then I can't see a reason not to use it.

'from foo import *' is heavily deprecated in any case; this "new style
of using wxPython" is merely saying (AIUI) that the 'wx' package allows
a more natural usage of wxPython objects without needing to use a
deprecated import style.
