Drupal 8 provides improved editorial experience, coupled with streamlined internationalization and translation. This will appeal to clients who are heavy on content, especially with an international presence and shifting the control over to editorial teams.

Drupal 8's "fast-by-default" performance improvements will allow clients to see rewards in page load times as soon as they build their D8 site. In addition, the more granular caching system will allow clients to create customized pages without sacrificing page load times.
Tim
Drupal 8 has been geared towards responsive design from the beginning and includes all the building blocks needed to make a righteous responsive site.

I think that what a client will like depends on the client and what is important to them.
If they produce a lot of content and need to manage it on a day-to-day basis, they'll appreciate the streamlined user interface and improved content management tools. If they are worried about maintaining separate dev/staging/production environments, they'll like the new configuration management. If they're worried about site speed and performance they'll like that performance has been a big focus for Drupal 8.
You could say that all clients care about these things, but I think they all have different priorities.
