It delights me to see how much polish Stripe put on everything they do. This is a basic feature, sure, but it seems as though it's been implemented extremely well. Even their blog announcement is extremely well-designed.
Stripe's attention to detail seems to permeate everything they do - from their homepage graphics to clear documentation. It's difficult not to compare this to PayPal, whose recent, much-trumpeted "redesign" only amounted to updating the front-facing portions of the site. It remains to be seen whether Stripe can keep this up as they scale, but it seems as though they've developed a great internal company culture that should give them a good shot at it.
