I'll wait while you do that..........
Done? OK, which of the new functionality are you looking forward to the most?
Take a look at the What's Great page for FME 2013.

self healing for connectors when deleting transformers
Splash Screen? All the references to FME 2012? :D
Seriously, I'm excited to get my hands on a new version of Server 2013. The AD integration in 2012 rocks in its simplicity, but doesn't allow me the granularity of control over the UI that I require. Also, firing off new jobs after job completion should be easier (I hope)
Cool that you've implemented bulk insert into SQL Server; I remember that you had pretty amazing performance improvements with the MySQL provider over high-latency connections doing something similar a number of years ago.
Oh, and all of my PRs that you're rushing to get into 2013 but haven't written about yet!
All listed in the article are great, especialy:
1) GeometryValidator and Chopper transformer
2) smart delete
3) Quick Add Tab Mode. (but I cann't use the TAB key to comfirm adding transformer anymore, hope could add an option let user change the key)
besides I wish:
1) FME Objects Python API get better, add more classes so can handle more FME geometry types.
2) workbench could deal more GUI directives in https://safe.secure.force.com/articles/FAQ/FME-GUI-Directives
(maybe all they can be done already, just I don't know how...)
Last, new FMEpedia Community is cool.
Thanks Safe Software.
Getting out on the road finding out how the awesome FMEers are using it!
Okay, seriously, I'm mostly looking forward to it being done

Yikes! Thanks Jason. It looks like I really don't know which year it is. Or will be. I'll fix all those bad references.
Woot! Salesforce Reader/Writer!
Omg wish I had our details so I could go play with it! xD
The deprecation of the ColorSetter, RandomColorSetter and NeighborColorSetter to give birth to the FeatureColoUrSetter... Consolidation is king!

Hi Mark,
Would you mind having a look at the question i posted regarding the line types in DWG with FME 2013?
Cheers,

The "smart" delete feature. Will save a lot of time remapping to the output.
Rejected Ports and GeometryValidator are big improvements. Also been waiting for an update of the DateFormatter for a while - hoping it will work with UK/EU date format now.
Smart Delete and Read/write Zip file
