First off, this has been a fascinating and fun project to be a part of. I cannot wait until we get the final product, which of course will happen in the middle of my next stint as GM (oh, the joys of switching characters around mid-adventure <G>).
I know we all have our favorite bits and hopes, and there will be some disappointments when the final product comes out and something we liked is gone, or something we disliked is still there -- but we all need to remember that the rules are only the rules if you and your GM say so :) (Or you're at a tourny/con and they play by the book!)
I have been amused to watch certain threads argue opposing viewpoints over and over (Like the "Wizard is overpowered" vs "Sorcerer is overpowered") ... usually, after reading my way through, I come to the conclusion they are pretty well balanced in the end <G>
I truly love the "redos" I've seen Jason post on the Paladin, the Animal Companion and the Barbarian's Rage ability, and hope we'll see more of these as we eagerly await the final product (::whimper:: August suddenly seems awfully far away!).
Thank you Paizo for all the hard work, and allowing us to be participants in the ride. Thank you to everyone that poured over every page, and submitted so many good ideas, whether or not I agree with them, you did major work, and should be commended. I wish my gaming would have allowed more participation, but we're in three campaigns, all the first books of the three APs ... we won't be hitting more meat for some time to come.
My hat is off to everyone!
Well, I have some random thoughts too, so I may as well jack your thread for my musings. :)
I feel like a lot of the issues that have become threads in the final playtest forum mirror my own unresolved issues with Pathfinder. I hope as much weight as possible it given to this leg of the process before things get finalized.

I wondering if the names of the people here that contributed to the beta play test (ie some if not all of us) will be on the book "thanks" page.

I'm sure there will be a line saying "Special thanks goes to Kae'Yoss for not sneaking into our houses at night, tying us up with panzer tape and force-feeding us his culinary creations because we agreed to print this line" for no reason ;-)
On a more serious note (my previous post was probably just a joke), it has been a fun endeavour, and it's always great to make a suggestion and get an official response - and it's nothing short of phantastic if the response goes along the lines of: "that's what we think, too" or "expect to see this or something very much like this in the final game".
I'm quite sure that the game goes in a direction that I will very much approve of, and the few pieces I don't like can easily be changed, so come August, Third Edition will enter a second Golden Age!
A big shout out to everyone involved, this has been a blast!
