(first off, this isn't really 'official')
Heres my thoughts about 1.5 -
Players view:
Its quite nice of an update compared to other ones, as it doesn't change gameplay a ton. I haven't been a fan of recent updates due to what they added and what I thought (for example, I am strongly against Witches). I like Redstone Comparators as well as TNT Minecarts as they dont majorly change gameplay. The new scoreboard system is also nice for map makers, but I think they could add a few more parameters to it.
Modders view:
Horrible for updating large mods. I understand why they seperated textures, but the new functions for stiching textures can get annoying sometimes. They also changed a lot of methods, such as .setName to .setUnlocalizedName. While its easy to fix, its time consuming. Sprite Indexes were not a huge lag issue, and helped modders stay organized. There was always a method with Forge to avoid Sprite Indexes, its just that modders rarely used it. Another thing I dislike is what they changed with entities, and the spawning parameters.

Lets make it official. So I love the command blocks, with the new /scoreboard and /effect, they are the greatest thing ever. I can make wireless locks with scoreboard, and jump pads with effect. Redstone blocks are neat, they let me send a redstone signal directly downwards, which was not possible before.

This is so NOT official that I think this should be deleted!

They didn't have an Alpha 1.5...

Alpha = before Beta
Beta = after Alpha
1.0 = after Beta, genraly called the full release
Therefore, unless we have travelled back in time, the most current release is not in Alpha.

Still NO Horse
And I don't know why they didn't implented RandomMobs support... Now I must use Optifine anyway, so this whole texture pack system update was useless
