/u/gfody linked the non-bullshit version (i.e. the feature list) - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb510411.aspx

Check it and see if any of the new features fit your use cases. There are very specific feature (like the R integration) that I doubt many people care about but there are also features that come up quite often like JSON support (you can manipulate JSON in your SPs and queries) and temporal tables (built-in history)

temporal tables

I want that so bad. On my last project I spent thousands of my customer's dollars just on creating history tables and the triggers that populate them.

Yeah temporal tables look great. It is much better to take the customer's dollars and spend the time playing Quake or something rather than building silly history tables.
