1. App list sorting
2. File manager
3. Actionable notifications
4. Decent podcasts app. Podcast Lounge is still infinitely better, including the selection.

Thats all off the top of my head and I'm thoroughly enjoying the rest of it.
Are there any features you thought were coming but didn't get?
 
1. Vibrate AND ring, rather than vibrate THEN ring
2. Sending full resolution pictures via email
3. Ability to attach any document (including Office and PDF) when replying to an email
 
Like above - better ringer profiles
Expected the quick silent to still be there - Why they removed that in favor of the 2 sliders - the extra volume control is nice but ...
Ive seen 2 vibrate settings in a screen shot my Icon just got on & off so its vibrate with everything or nothing I would expect all phones to get same settings except glance of course :P

Quick silent is still there. Just tap on the icon to the left of the slider.
 
Yes, but that doesn't mean the feature has been removed.

Actually it was, kind of.

We're missing silent mode.

The icons to mute each volume slider aren't clear. They're missing the circle around the icons. MS apparently forgot to follow their own OS design rules.

I think circles around those icons would make the volume box look cluttered.

I wanted the option to turn live tiles off, mainly the People tile.

My version which follows MS' own UI guidelines. Added circles to icons, silent mode seen in SDK, and accent color to volume level numbers.
