I think there is enough for everybody to benefit.

For me I particularly like:

• the new biginteger datatype that is part of the new core;
• the new concurrent-collection;
• the mvc framework that is included;
• the many new classes for the workflow framework;

What I like less about this release:

• the entity framework seems part of this release. My experiences sofar before it was included in this release were disappointing;
• in my opinion, the unity should have been part of the core;
• new ajax stuff, but i would bet my money on jquery. No microsoft ajax for me anymore for a while;
