Boom is a more advance Doom engine with some features like translucency effects, weapons recoil, dehacked files support, etc. I'd say it plays all wads doom except those written for ZDoom.
For example, Wolfenstein mods for Doom can only be played with a Boom compatible Doom port:

Boom features:
Player bobbing improved, optional
Friction effects
Wind, current, conveyor effects
Far more flexible scrolling wall/floor types
Always run
Weapon change logic overhauled and improved
Generalised line types system gives complete flexibility
Elevators
Translucent sprites, walls
Independent floor and ceiling lighting
Silent teleports
Deep water, true underwater areas
Fix large numbers of game bugs
Support arbitrary texture heights
