This might take me several attempts to get everything in!  Some of the 
items you mentioned were more transformative than I would have guessed, 
such as the new search bar, and it was in within a day or two of being 
mentioned in this list.

The bundles, and the relative ease with which new ones can be written.  
The OmniFocus bundle was a *big* addition for me.
"Send Later" might be a pretty common feature, but it is one which I 
have found very useful.
I echo *Markdown*, and mention that it is handy to have the simultaneous 
preview of how it will look to someone else.
One can search for *any factor*, including what the writer of the email 
was wearing when they sent it....(perhaps exaggerating).
This very mailing list itself, has given me extensibility ideas which I 
would not have thought of myself.

Thanks,
Ed
