“SYSTEM WIDE darkness” now is ⇧⌃⎋ [shift-ctrl-turnoff]. Indeed, a change; I think previously it was ⇧⌃⏏. Not sure.

1. You can't submit apps created with a beta version of Xcode. If you need to submit/resubmit anything, you'd need the latest public release (6.3.2 in this case.) It's just easy to be able to access it from El Cap than have to reboot in Yosemite.
2. Xcode 7 has Swift 2.0, and wants to migrate your code. Swift 1.x code will have errors and won't compile/run. So you can't even use Xcode 7 to work on a Swift project and then use Xcode 6.3.2 to further edit or submit it.
Can't say I am a fan of the blurred log-in screen which shows your desktop image in the background.
My guess would be then that it is Apple breaking standards to to unfairly push Thunderbolt daisy chaining.
Installed DP1 and DP2 yesterday, after upgrading all my Google accounts to IMAP (super easy, actually). Only bugs I've found so far are Gmail messages disappearing randomly (1 so far), and iCloud preference changes crashing System Prefs.
But such is the norm for being on the beta bleeding edge. Nothing a backup can't fix if it gets too intense.

Hmm. I did just recently switch to a lighter desktop so I guess I just never noticed it.
This keyboard shortcut logs you out, so, I think you are wrong.
You are right, it’s still ⇧⌃⏏.
(It happened that in my Keyboard prefs “Use all F keys as standard function keys” was set, so I actually have to hit fn-⇧⌃⏏.)
Still logs me out, I have the Apple's bluetooth keyboard, when I press all of the keys above it logs me out!
No, the shortcut is definitely for turning off the display. According to this they changed it to ⇧⌃⎋ already with Mountain Lion. Strangely on my MBA, with El Capitan, both shortcuts do work (⇧⌃⎋ and ⇧⌃⏏). But probably I just hadn’t noticed that before…
If it’s logging you out, then most likely you have set “Require password immediately” in Security & Privacy.
As a followup to the UI lag vs Yosemite, Mission Control is buttery smooth (animations are at refresh). These are the things they demoed, so kind of expected. I suspect mission control is the only component in 10.11 that is actually using Metal at this point. Safari (v9) has a lot of judder when scrolling, even more than the latest 10.10.4. In fact safari is probably the weakest point for performance in this release. I'm really looking forward to seeing full 60hz scrolling in safari once and for all (there is no reason it should lag).
I expect apple to start plugging in pieces to accelerate various components over the course of the next few months, but I wouldn't be surprised if this takes many point releases to get it right. Yosemite was a disaster performance wise, and they have a lot of work to do to get it right.

Jave SE 6 isn't support, Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 and earlier will not run. Photoshop CS6 runs fine, and I am also having trouble with my icons properly showing up, it's puts a "NO" sign superimposed over my icons when I add something new to a folder...very annoying.
For the one's who are developing an app with the new OS features that's the only way to do it
An update to a previous post in this thread. After updating to the latest version (DP2?) released on 6/23 and using it for the last week with my 12" rMB, I have consistently had much better battery performance. I'm back to getting closer to 10 hours on a charge. Yay! All my other apps have been working fine and I am using the beta for iStat menus and it is working great as well. So, for those that many not have updated yet... do it!
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but it's still beta software, and there are no guarantees that stuff won't get broken between now and the release of El Capitan. I have it on a test machine, but won't put it on my daily production machine until it releases. YMMV.
