Roon: is it just a pretty face for browsing music?

I’m curios about getting Roon and using it to integrate with my Bluesound player because BlueOS kind of sucks. 
I use Qobuz as my streaming music choice but wanted to know if there’s another reason to use Roon versus the BlueOS. 

Is it just a pretty face where you can read about all the artists and albums because actually in don’t really care about the band members or anything. 
Is there ways to find new similar music to the one your listening to, etc? Or similar artists?
