Simplicity
I love it when things 'just work'. I had to write some code to talk to an external system to get image info today. The object I created for this is simple to use and was simple to implement. It just works.
A lot of the new system we've been working on is like that. The models we are using are simple and clear, and that shows in the way things are implemented. We are using a lot of open source modules to save time and effort where we can. There is no over engineering, just a good solid model in which pieces of the system can be easily plugged together into something really cool.
It's worlds better than the old system, and infinitely simpler, but it actually adds a lot of functionality as well. Very nice.
