#3This is actually a pretty good step. Most programmers are already using some kind of UI/command line to push to Github, but having a simple drag and drop for uploads will get those who are less technically inclined on our teams to actually use version control more. At least I really hope I can stop dealing with the "asset_1", "asset_1-2", "asset_1_USETHISONE" that some people do.

#5This is awesome! I was just barely wanting to upload a file to one of my repositories, but I didn't feel like cloning it to this computer.

#6This feature has interesting synergy with GitHub Pages, where .md files can simply be dragged-and-dropped into a folder to get published as a blog post on the web.
It may be enough to remove the must-be-programmer-who-understands-git barrier to entry, anyways.
EDIT: GitHub Pages still requires specific file naming for posts and YAML front matter, so it's not perfectly non-programmer friendly. It might be a good idea to write a tutorial as a blog post/screencast, though.

#9Github has needed this for awhile. I was using Cloud9 for awhile to push changes to github when all I really wanted was this feature.

#10To clarify, by "upload files" they mean adding and committing new files to a git repository. At first I thought there was some other way to add files to a project.
