It's only a little faster, but it does sometimes get you access to the task manager even when other shortcuts don't respond.

The difference is that the crtl+shift+esc opens it directly, while ctrl/alt/del requires selecting task manager from a menu.

I personally have just been using right click on the start button to access it.

Yup, I get that. I use ctrl+shift+esc all the time. That is what I meant by it being beneficial when other shortcuts don't work.
