I finally got around to installing Magic Lantern on my 60D... got over being stubborn?

What do you guys and gals find to be your favorite feature on Magic Lantern?

I'm really focusing on quality audio straight in from my Videomic Go, but anticipate using the focus and zoom options also.

I'm also using ML on a 60D.

For video, my faves are:
waveform monitor (but I'm a crusty old videographer with long history with WF. It does tell the exposure story!)
Audio meters are an essential for on-camera audio. Plus you get control of analog & digital gain.
Focus peaking
I'm now mostly using 1fps video instead of shooting a series of stills for timelapse. Less resolution, but much less shutter wear. I still remember putting 7k actuations on my shutter for my very first timelapse!

All small things, but they seem essential and I wouldn't want to give them up!

For me it's the intervalometer. I can't believe all cameras don't have this feature built in.

Video wise it's the focus peaking and being able to increase the bit rate of the video it saves to the card as this directly improves the quality of the footage with no effort!

The bulk of my work is multicam concert video, so no question my favorite feature is the auto-restart.
