Look at the Layers Panel - I wonder what the new tools represent:
Filter buttons. If you look closely, there is an on/off switch most right which in my world translates to filters on/off. Alternatively, I'm sure those buttons can be used with a modifier key to quickly add specific layer types to the stack.

Contact Sheet is a welcome return. So many features can be adapted. I made this a few years ago by sizing up 40 images, and turning off titles, and ‘Flatten Layers’ when making the contact sheet. It was then fairly simple to FT each layer to give some overlap, and use Layer masks for creative affect.
It was eventually incorperated into a poster for the organisation running the event.
Some interesting JDIs (thanks so much for the typed list!).
The Eye dropper changes appeal to me, and Ctrl J now working on Groups is very welcome. Lots more there, but what worries me is that there are apparently twice as many new JDIs in CS6 as there were in CS5, which makes me think I must be missing a lot of the CS5 JDIs. is there a list somewhere?

The right most icon looks like a cell phone, and third from right look like handles on a selection. Free transforming selections is something I a lost of us do frequently, and faster access to it would be nice. So many changes to the layers palette is a pretty big deal though, any more thoughts?
While the big marketing bullet point features for a new version of PS are nice, these JDI improvements are what get me actually excited about upgrading, since they are something I would use every hour of every day. A lot of neat little changes and fixes in that list especially for the layers panel.

Lots of little things that will make using Photoshop more pleasant, minute to minute. The little things are going to make lasting impressions!
It's good to hear that Adobe considers tidying up important. This may seem intangible, but averting the impression of a "mad developent dash" to get all the Gee Whiz features in at the expense of actually polishing things or even finishing things, is going to increase peoples' perceptions that it's a professional product!
