It's nice to have the feature there but yeah nothing you can't live without.
The big thing that I'm interested in is the news things, so I can read like tech news and science journals like I do on Flipboard. I think there's only one TV channel I watch for news and documentaries now....just shows how much I rely on those mediums for actual decent news.
As well as Reminders on it too and the notifications center - similar to the one in Android (you even pull it down the same way) are the only features that really stand out.
