We knew nothing about 1.6 in the very least until the teaser image that horses were being added. That's when people jumped on the bandwagon with not only horses being added, but it was a sign that it was a mob update. Now we can see that quite clearly 1.6 has the horse as its centerpiece and most of the actual content in the update revolves around them, meaning it's their update.
Of course, 1.6 is also really important for its launcher, resource pack and attribute system changes, which for their extreme importance have been really pushed into the superfluous pile of changes for a lot of people without good reason. "Waah, 1.6 isn't about mobs" is all that matters, despite the extreme importance of the structural changes to the game.
If they're adding the attribute system, why don't they use it? They should make it so that wearing armor slows the player down a bit and some other similar stuff. Pretty pointless for them to be adding it if they're not going to use it for survival. I don't mind them adding map making features, but there should be a balance. Everyone plays survival of some form, but not everyone plays custom maps.
I don't want Mo'creatures in vanilla either, but it would be nice to have some atmospheric mobs in Minecraft such as birds, fishes, and squirrels.
They probably are for the mobs. Remember the regional difficulty thing? The attribute system can make the mobs stronger for that. That's what I think.
year now i think you CANT tame horses
fish may cause LAG SPIKE OF COMPUTER EXPLOSION because my computer is poop
red dragons? YEAR TAKE THAT PIGS THAT HAVE A WIRED CPU AND FOLLOW MEARROUND
NOPE I NEVER EVER WANT MO CREATURES IN Vanllia
If fish can cause your computer to explode you shouldn't be playing games on it in the first place.
I'm most excited about the horse in this update. It's awesome that you can apply armor to them. I also can't wait to tame my first red dragon! 1.6 is gonna be awesome... in my opinion.
I'm sorry but from the beginning, even I knew that only one mob would be introduced. I knew that it wasn't in their nature for them to add more than 1 mob in the 1.6 considering how large adding the horse was to the community. I understand that we have been promised fish, red dragon, etc. But you have to be patient and they will (hopefully) add them in. Also, I thought I should let you know that we already have bird mobs, they are called bats.

Steps. It's probably not their focus at the moment. It gives them options for their later updates. And you'll probably find horses will wind up being the guinea pig for the attribute system before they start changing up how other mob stat distribution works.
Plus, it means more versatility for modders just having the attribute system in the game.

Mod ideas in my profile info! Send me a message or post in one of the threads if you're interested.

Mojang never even said this was going to be a mob update, if it was they did pretty good in my opinion. Adding horses is really cool, and they have nametags as well..
Fish (visible)- Weve been promised actual fish for a while, with a mob update i would expect them very much.
Red Dragons-We have been promised these for a while too, and there excuse "too hard to code" well copy the code from a mod or something, like you did with horses!
Bonus: DinnerBone hinted pandas, but probaly for 1.7 (in the bamboo biome)
No one promised red dragons, birds, fish or pandas.
Also if Dinnerbone did hinted for pandas (and if so he is nuts), can you show me where?
I Think Birds at least would be a great mob.
Think of waking up in the morning and hearing birds chirp,
and looking out your window and seeing a flock fly by
*Sigh* I wish
I can see alot of uses for the attribute system, but with the NBTtags serving the same purpose, it seems a tad redundant. It could be just as well I'm not seeing the difference though.
I don't think Mojang ever confirmed this as the theme. There seem to be a lot of game/interface changes such as riding system, nametags, leads (hoping this leads to linkable minecarts,) resource packs, attributes (NBT editable,) and regional difficulty. Most of these fall under the theme of mobs, but keep in mind they can also be part of a greater theme. (Just like how they crammed in a bunch of unrelated stuff and called it the "Pretty Scary Update".)
That was only because it was near Halloween. Or did it come out on Halloween? I don't remember.

Message me yours if you want to trade in Animal Crossing: New Leaf or just need some friends to play with. I can also do Pokemon trades in Pokemon X(or Y), but I don't have any good stuff, and the only good stuff I have is not for trade so...send me requests anyway.

That explains the "Scary" part, but the "Pretty" makes it stick out like a sore thumb.
"Pretty" has in:"Damn, that's pretty scary!" or something like that. I guess Jeb intended for the Wither or the Witch to scare people. The Wither probably scared 5 year old kids and witches scared the pants off of the Jehovah's Witnesses(That play games, that is).

Just because it has something to do with mobs doesn't make it a themed update.

The addition of Hardened Clay, especially if it can be dyed, means I can have colored tiled floors. Oh the mosaics you could make.
I'd prefer the current additions to be honest.

The NBT tags are the attribute system.

Mostly moved on. May check back a few times a year.
