EDIT: Looks like Wordpress 2.6 Beta 1 has been released today.
Been playing with Wordpress 2.6 alpha for a bit with the new features. To the users it will appear like nothing really has changed on the surface but under the hood there are a bunch of new features.
My favorite new feature is the post revisions. I can't tell you how many times I have had the same post open in multiple windows and accidentally over written a previous post. The only thing worse then doing a job is doing the same job over...
Here is a screen shot :
