Following conventions/best-practices. Not duplicating code unnecessarily. Using features of the language to my advantage instead of forcing the language to fit my program structure.

And also just an overall improvement in the quality of the code - less room for bugs, less 'hacky fixes', easier to maintain/extend/modify
