I regularly only see two things that make windows 7 significantly better, and both are essentially UI changes. The first is the taskbar reorganization. It just works well for me, I like being able to pin my programs and toggle between them with the super key + a number. The second is that I can maximize windows by dragging them to the top of the screen, and have them take up half the screen by dragging them to the side. These two things make windows 7 almost like a tilling wm. There are definitely some things under the hood that make more sense on windows 7, but those two UI changes are what I see on a day to day basis.
