I spent a little time recently looking at WP's admin panel and some of the funtionality that I never really looked before which I do have to wonder about, for those who come from WP.
For the majority of people coming from WP, the key things that they're most worried about are SEO, ease of posting/attaching files and add-ons - in that order. SEO we can do something with - and I do even wonder about full on 'SEO' URLs (i.e. no ids present in the URLs) for that, but that's something I'm not quite so worried about.
So, the features that jump out of me from WP:
* Posting from email (not sure *how* it does it but I get the impression it doesn't have any of the usual fuss related to posting via email that you can trivially find on sm.org, with email configuration - the admin panel talks about just using POP3, which means I think we're talking regular lookups to the POP3 server)
* XML-RPC - for creating other clients (it probably isn't a bad idea to have something suitable for this purpose)
* Threaded comments
* OMG OMG TEH LEET SEO
