*"What is the *single* most exciting thing about it?"* For me, it's the stability. I've been using it since it came out and I've not yet been able to make it crash. Previous versions would crash several times per day for me.
Apart from that, the database tools are a big improvement over previous versions. This is, seriously, the BEST edition of VS that I have ever used. Lots of little things all add up to make a great dev experience. Previous versions were all like "death by a thousand cuts" because of all the little annoyances. Most of these have been removed. If you are able to, upgrade today. You'll thank yourself for it. If you can add Resharper 5, even better. Grant
