I am not a programmer, just a user who likes to read about those things. But a lot of it seems to focus on as much code reuse as possible. Besides all the great improvements and tech it will showcase I'm excited to see several applications working natively and easily on other platforms.
Like when Amarok 2.0 comes out. It will be written using kdelibs which will be ported to OSX and Windows. Using Phonon which provides a single API for Linux, OSX and Windows multimedia and Solid for the same deal with devices (assuming they do release it for Windows). Some deal with other kde applications, it will save developers time and allow for easier porting.
