Here's the list of what's new since version 9 of Mathematica: http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/new-in-10/

This is an impressive release.

GeoGraphics is amazing example of the power of integration between domains. Built-in data about the world, with semantic integration into graphics as well as data analysis. This is way beyond what any existing mapping solution has delivered.

The geometry stuff is also amazing and very useful for generative design and "making"

I'm very impressed by this stuff--especially the new computational geometry features.

I'm just a little hesitant to do any meaningful work in such a closed ecosystem.

This made me laugh:

Version 10 introduces fundamental new constructs called associations. They associate keys with values, allowing highly efficient lookup and updating, even with millions of elements. Associations provide generalizations of symbolically indexed lists, associative arrays, dictionaries, hashmaps, structs, and a variety of other powerful data structures.

For a non-commerical user, it's hard to see Mathematica as more than TODO list for http://www.sagemath.org

Sounds like a hashtable ... is that what made you laugh ?

We'll see if they fixed the proxy so it can get through our corporate firewall, otherwise the alpha integration is useless. No other programs have a problem except Mathematica.
