My favorite update that’s coming in 3.7 is the automatic updater for the security fixes. I think this will keep a lot of people who run WordPress from getting hacked since a lot of people (for whatever reason) don’t keep their version of WordPress up to date, which leaves them vulnerable to hacks.

Antonio MondejarI think security has been really imprived in the latest versions, what means our websites are safer against a bad behaviour

MichaelMy favorite update is the audio and video embed. This makes it easier for our podcast site. Faculty no longer have to work with a a plugin for their classroom podcast.

StephanieI’m appreciating the new media library. Also, I recently did a blog move and it automatically redirected the old posts to the new URLs. Fancy!

I also agree that incremental auto updates will be a good thing overall in 3.7 but I have to say I am liking the Post Locking and Augmented Autosave that came with 3.6 – great for sites with more than a single author.
