Not only eye candy, but also "user friendliness" as they call it.

Yesterday I was really surprised (by the second-to-latest version).  I
wanted to watch a video using the totem video player, and got an error
message telling me that I didn't have the correct codecs.  At the bottom
of the message there was an option to search for available codecs, which
showed me the packages that I could install from the repositories.  I
clicked on the packages, clicked install, entered the sudo password.
After a few seconds the packages were installed, and totem proceeded to
play the video.

How is that for a nice error recovery?
