So far, I have to say that I really like the changes in the MM re: the Pit Fiend, Osyluth, and Titan. Two changes in particular are welcome:
1) Assigning DCs to all SLAs (makes it much easier for DMs)
2) Getting read of 'useless' spells. Did a Balor really need Read Magic at will?
Also, the monsters seem to have an almost uniform increase in ability scores, saves, SR, AC and hit points. Personally, I think the fiends in the MM now are quite weak for their CR. Hopefully these changes will re-introduce a significant challenge.
I'm very curious to see changes to the fighting classes and especially cheesey PrC like the Red Wizard to see if new newly revised PC classes can match these new foes.
