1) Widgets that have fast settings toggles and information. On one screen I can toggle 2G/3G, data/sync/brightness/airplane/wifi/bluetooth gps. Just tap and you're good, no need to navigate 4 menus to get there. On the same screen I see my battery percentage, ma drain, cpu temp, sound settings (control media/ringtones/alarm from one) and a really good visual equalizer. All of this is controlled with 1 to 2 taps from one screen that I can swipe to.
2) LWPs. I know it's not necessary and some of them are hoggs, but I still love some awesome ones and love the option.
3) Big ass clock widget, like an HTC style. With Fancy Widgets pro the clock/weather icons are endless and I love it on my home screen.
4) Choose different lock screens. (my fav is rotary revamped on CM7)
5) CM7 tmobile theme chooser.
6) More awesome free games.
7) Control my uverse DVR with an awesome app.
8 ) RSS News Widget on my home screen (they should have a live tile for this if they don't)
9) Can't find a podcast player/downloader as good as BeyondPod
If I can get this on Mango then I'd be super happy. It's to each his own. I just feel like I have more freedom with Android than WP7 which has pros and cons admittedly. I love Mango so far and cannot wait to flash 7720, but for me CM7 2.3.5 is still the best for my needs. Zero lag, zero issues, zero restarts, fast and smooth as WP7 even though I've got my cpu UC to 768mhz unless I'm gaming (then I jack it up to 1.2ghz).

I'll answer a few of these and im sure that others can answer the rest.
1) you can pin settings to the start screen, that'll reduce the number of taps by half.
3) MS has talked down such widgets where a clock takes up most of the screen.
4) u can adjust the background of the existing lockscreen and its the most informative one I've seen thus far.
5) wp7 doesn't need any mods to provide a great user experience
7) AT&T does have an app for this but I think It was only for at&t branded phones
live tiles can display tons for information in mango than in NoDo and the RSS ability will come with that.
9) Zune by default can search for and download podcasts.
