What are the biggest features for your use of Anki, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm writing my own self hosted backend for this type of thing, and I'm curious what features might be of most help for me to memorize data. Though, it's quite possibly that I'd just make a bridge to Anki, who knows.

As I used Anki to learn a lot of math and computer science related topics one of the most valuable features has been its integration of latex and the possibility to type formulars.

The thing I missed the most about anki was any possibility to edit and manage my cards in plaintext files. I would have really liked to type my cards with a real texteditor like Vim instead of the integrated gtk text input field.

Well, that's exactly what I implemented with the vim plugin referenced in comment below!
