I myself am a little disapointed they didn't include a multi-trade feature (y'know trading more than one Pokemon at a time). I don't mind trading one at a time, it can get a little redundant if trading a lot.

Most favorite, though, is the IR trade. Now I don't need to go to a Pokemon Center each time I want to trade.
 
I love the IR trading. It's so much quicker now!

I love the enhanced connectivity in general for this generation.
 
This is a tough question.

I guess, off the top of my head, my favorite (or most useful) would be the Dream World and the battling/training mechanics. Dream World introduced a whole new way of enjoying Pokemon, and I hope that GameFreak continues Pokemon online (MMO-hopeful :O). The training is faster now because of the level difference mechanic and faster battling (also Audino), while EV training is now calculated after battles and works even after lv100, which is great. Wi-Fi battles, Triple, and Rotation battles support the Battle-oriented feature.

Least favorite feature? Nothing really. All the features introduced this generation have been great, but I'm kinda disappointed with the way GameFreak implemented the Black City/White Forest exclusive areas to be time-based and 'unfillable' without someone in close proximity. If Dream World and the exclusive areas could unite over Wi-Fi, then it'd be a whole lot more convenient.
 
I like the new graphics in the battles. They really improved in the visual area.
 
I like how they give N a legendary on his team, I like the triple battles and rotation battles as well.

Least favorite:

GTS Negotiation. Spam Frowny Face 24x7 unless you have a legendary.

No touchscreen.

Favorite:

3 at a time link trades.
 
I love the new graphics, and the Entralink is pretty neat, though I don't actually use it much.

Musicals are my least favorite new feature. They are uninvolved, boring, and unrewarding. I played it once, and it was cute, but there's no reason to play it again unless you like dressing up Pokemon.
 
Having to battle the champion later on was nice and batting Ghetsis's Hydreigon was awesome.
 
I liked how they elite four and champion got stronger the second time you faced them.
 
Having to get a Rotom in a In-game trade, no transfer from other games required! That was nice!
 
I like that the dragon gym leaders for black and white are different
