You're right, why is it so stable?? Crash god damit!!
It runs quite well on my Early 2011 MacBook Pro, even with integrated graphics.
Got a tip for us?

Am I reading correctly? El Capitan runs very stable?

Went ahead and installed it myself. And I thought the 10.10.4 betas was the most solid betas I've ever used. This is gold Jerry, GOLD!
I'm surprised by the number of incompatible apps. I understand its only DP1 and I'm not knocking it, I was think it may have been a little further along since the number of features is rather small.
Still from what I've read (I'm not running it yet) it does seem stable

Maybe it's got something to do with rootless? I.e apps trying to write data somewhere they no longer have access to and then falling over...
Good point, I'll be the first to say I'm not fully aware of this feature even though I did see it being floated around as a rumor before WWDC
Yeah. Most apps that fail either seems to be doing something naughty to where they shouldn't (XtraFinder, CleanMyMac) or it's a USB audio issue. Yosemite had similar issues with audio extensions in its betas.
Ditto. I have two Exchange accounts. My work one crashes it every time I open it. If I remove it, Mail will usually open it. Once I add it and it downloads a bit of mail, the crashes start.
For my personal Exchange account, it crashes randomly but it does run. It does not download my mailbox though. All my folders show up but only -new- mail appears. OWA shows all my mail. It is configured as an Exchange account so that isn't the issue.
Mail is EXTREMELY buggy.
Any apps I found that didn't work after the upgraded needed to be reinstalled with rootless turned off in nvram (another thread here explains how to disable and enable once you install the apps). Rootless seems to protect a lot of folders that some apps use (i.e. /usr/bin). The upgrade moved the files out of those folders. Disabling rootless and reinstalling puts the files back correctly.
I'm running 10.11 on a 2010 White Unibody MacBook with a 2.4 C2D 8GB RAM and 120GB SSD and so far it is running every bit as well as Yosemite was. It may even be a bit faster it feels like. I even used terminal to disable rootless and kext signing and was able to use TRIM Enabler. So far so good.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work so well for me. My uploading speed has sunk since I installed OS X 10.11, going from a solid 1-1.5Mbps to 0.02-0.07Mbps at best. Loading most pages is too slow to be usable now.
EDIT: I can see now in the Activity Monitor that kernel_task has uploaded 10.04GB in the last 3 hours, and sometimes the app shows peaks of 15MB/s upload without any application opened. Weird.
EDIT 2: Problem solved. Apparently Time Machine is saving a 56GB backup. I had never experienced this issue before because usually the backups are only a few MB in size. That also explains why I was seeing 15MB/s uploads when my internet connection is much slower.

Yes, it looks like it's doing a full backup right off the bat.
People are always likely to see some performance issues just after upgrading as the system performs tasks like backing up and spotlight indexing.
Run's very well and stable for me and much more responsive than Yosemite on my new 12" RMB. Like everyone else, facebook is problematic. Sometimes it won't load, and it gets very laggy when you chat with friends in the chatbox, and when you type in the chatbox, every keypress will make the screen scroll up, which is very weird and annoying.
On my 2015 rMBP 15", it runs damn fast. Clicking on Adobe Acrobat DC, it pops on the screen instantly. And Mission Control is smooth as glass.
I'm seeing some Safari crashes but otherwise it's running really well. Much better than Yosemite
Runs amazing on my 2013 rMBP-15" (2.6Ghz i7, 16GB, 750M, 1TB SSD). I don't expect I'll go back to Yosemite.
