What I like:
* Flashlight and calculator available from the lock screen
* Camera and music controls more easily accessed from the lock screen

I'm sure there must be features that I haven't read about or encountered yet because this was supposed to be such a major update. As expected with such a limited usage (less than 15 minutes) my don't like list is much longer.

What I don't like:
* I really miss swipe to delete
* The grouped apps (forget what they're called - folders?) now only show 9 per screen, and have a second screen where required. I had organized mine to show a screenful and now have to reorganize to not have to swipe for a second screen
* The text on the icons was illegible on my light-coloured background. I changed my background to all black for now.
* Text is generally lighter-weight and less readable (e.g. in the mail app). If anyone over 40 tested this product, wasn't their opinion listened to?
* Zooming of the apps whenever you return to the home screen
* The grey background on the folders

Edited to add: (thanks holymadness) some things I miss are really there:
swipe right to left to delete
You can use settings > general > accessibility to set the text to bold and therefore readable
