As in, a feature that is quite honestly amazing.

So of course Adobe doesn't care about Acrobat on the Mac since Preview seems perfectly capable of accommodating 89% of PDF users, failing only in the areas of Paper Capture and file compression. Unfortunately, I rely quite heavily on PDFs in my daily cycle, and while it's nice to be able to at least interact with them from my Mac, it's frustrating when a single page PDF I create is 10 times the size of what Acrobat Pro can dish out.

But I noticed when I was doing some work on my Air - the only machine running Lion which keeps my other stuff safe and gives me a chance to get familiar with the issues before they affect me largely - that Lion's Preview allows you to attach physical signatures to PDF documents. Before I would have to create a PNG or something to add to an existing document, but now you can just sign something in white and it will create (and store) the signature electronically, which you can then apply to one or many documents.

Obviously a strong password is desirable here. But it's nice to finally find something about Lion that is appealing, since just about everything else is frustrating in some way, especially trying to navigate SMB shares, the sidebar, and the refusal to write to the HD.
