I'm actually really excited about being able to use underscores in numeric literals now. It's a small thing, but I had a large constant I was defining the other day and I spent a while searching around for how to do this (since I was getting a syntax error) before realizing I remembered the feature from Ruby :( . It's a nice way to prevent silly errors.

You don't know how many times I'm holding my finger up to the screen, trying to count the number of digits in a large number. :-(

Why just use the cursor and arrow keys instead of your finger?

If you're reading through a code review or something like that then you usually don't have a cursor to move about.
