I don't know about the exact details, but I notice the difference when I have to use a machine which doesn't have tuareg-mode installed. So much so that I just install tuareg before going any further. Integration with font-lock-mode seems better. I'm quite sure that tuareg-mode can be configured to indent the same way as the core mode. Since tuareg-mode is actually developed at INRIA, it would seem fairly logical to integrate it into OCaml.
