My favourite thing about WolframAlpha (so far)
is the way it gives exactly zero fucks about mixed units. As an MSL (metric as a second language) bilingual, it's so nice to be able to just code-switch at it.
Me: "Hey, if gasoline costs 95.3 cents per litre and my car gets 22 miles per gallon, how much does it cost to drive 42 kilometres?"
WolframAlpha, not batting an eye: "$4.28."
Me: "Thank you!"

Anyone else have any favourite things about WolframAlpha they want to talk about? I haven't used it for all that many different things, so there's probably lots of great bits I haven't discovered or appreciated.
