Nice to have hardware I2C and PWM modules, but I just do fine with my software emulations (my I2C implementation can reach speeds of 500 kHz, the Espressif version only 100 kHz; the PWM implementation can reach 18 bit PWM, 16 bits up to 120 Hz, which is not perfect, but better than most hardware implementations).
The big ones for me are the enhanced security built in, and the different radios - Wifi, BLE and 802.15.4. The latter means ZigBee out of the box and 6LoWPAN capable with a stack, and proper mesh ability
