I don’t have much experience with IPv6 yet either, but as I understand, the primary benefit is that you can get rid of a lot of the crappiness of IPv4, which you might just deem ‘normal’ at this point, like NAT and DHCP. It does happen quite a bit, for example, that we’d like a unique identifier for a host, but with IPv4, you need to store a separate UUID to accomplish that.
