What new feature of Switch 2 are you most pleased with?

Not sure yet.

On paper, it's probably the mouse controls, magnetic joy cons, and fixing the speed of the EShop that impress me the most. Basically, a new feature and fixing two of the problems I had with the Switch 1.

Magnetic controls fix the de-sync during handheld issue. This is fixable, but requires some careful invasive cleaning - this, IMO, not the joy con drift, was the big issue I found with the Switch's joy cons. Joy con drift is actually very easily fixable with electronic contact cleaner. There was one other issue with Joy cons (see below).

Larger trigger buttons: the other Joycon issue issue that I see are the L1 R1 trigger buttons sometimes stick or become less responsive, this hit two of my Switches right around the 5 year mark, but it comes and goes.

The EShop was slow and sluggish, had buffering issues with video, and would crash from time to time. This meant that most of the time I'd navigate the library via browser - which was still annoying.
