It provides multiple file tagging  - I can't do that in Noatun.  

It supports organization of very large amounts of files without regard to 
directory structure, or filename, and it does so very quickly.  I can't do 
that in Noatun.
 
It supports scan-on-startup looking for changes, new/added/deleted files - I 
can't do that in Noatun.  Maybe I could with Hayes, but well, let's not go 
there.

JuK has an intuitive to use GUI as a jukebox and organizer.  That's a 
different thing than a player.  It's like the kaboodle and noatun cases - 
they are entirely different things, that happen to have a small part of 
functionality the same.

Noatun is a whole lot of stuff I don't want (an equalizer, visualizations, 
skins, other stuff) without any of the organizational jukebox features I do 
want.   I have no doubt some people do like all those things, and don't care 
about organization, playlist making, or any of those things.  For them, 
there's Noatun.  They might like to use JuK to make their playlists and keep 
their file tags straight though, it's so much better at both of those as to 
be in a totally different league.
