It's good in that it is more consistent during the day due to how it works and is absorbed by the body. For some that Adderall didn't work (or stopped working) Vyvanse was a good alternative, but at a much higher cost.
Not 100% on this source, but it's the only one which I found which described how Vyvance acts and why it's different from Adderall:

Adderall is more common as the patent expired in 2009 and it has had generics for over a decade. This has brought the 30-day supply price of Adderall to $10-$40. Meanwhile Vyvanse:
