that's in the ballpark at leastFinished! The update ETA algorithm reminds me of old Windows file copy ETA.
It said ~30 minutes for update, while it really took around 10.

Author of that dialog doesn't have any friends.
I filed in a bug report and Apple developers confirmed it's a bug. I'll take their word over yours if you don't mind. But you're in luck, this update doesn't fix it. They also haven't fixed the blue accent color in save dialog windows when using another accent color like graphite.Pretty sure that works as intended. I for one like that they removed those animations.
I've had a battery issue lately. I don't usually shut off my MacBook. Just close the lid to put it to sleep over night. When I open it up in the morning, I have been having to charge it because the battery drained overnight. (Usually 20-30%). If it was a software bug for whatever reason, we'll see if this fixes it! If not...gotta keep trying to narrow down a cause!
They did? Fair enough – guess I'm wrong then. I always considered those animations a bit frivolous. They arguably took an inappropriately long time and forced you to wait for just a moment too long to see the immediate result of your action. They didn't (imo) really help you better understand the action you took, either.I filed in a bug report and Apple developers confirmed it's a bug. I'll take their word over yours if you don't mind.
That's good news at least.But you're in luck: This update doesn't fix it.
Sounds like GUI is not for you. You need OS which is purely command line, there results are pretty much "instant" when you press return/enter.They did? Fair enough – guess I'm wrong then.

Don't get me wrong, I like the command line. But I'm also a fan of pretty UIs and animations as long as their purpose isn't purely decorative. I.e. they better help me understand what just happened instead of distracting me from what I'm doing. There's something to be said for the discoverability of GUIs, too. Plus, they make it usually easier to undo things and help prevent mistakes.Sounds like GUI is not for you.

I took the plunge from El Capitan a few weeks back and the constant freezing I was facing during FaceTime had resolved instantly. Oddly, I feel Mojave runs faster than El Cap but it may be because it was a fresh clean install instead of a upgrade.I'm wondering if this update will finally be the one to get me to update from Sierra? I'm on a mid 2012 MBPR and not sure if I should make the jump, especially hearing some issues are still lingering. Anyone want to weigh in on this?
Yeah we all have that it seems. Sierra was great. High Sierra was significant worse, and then Mojave has basically made sleep pretty useless.
Hopefully someone will guinea-pig this for us.
Ok, I'll put it another way.You won't get a general consensus because Mojave has been rock solid since day one. There's nothing to talk about. The only few reactions are complaints, obviously.

I'll give it a week, see what the general consensus is, and if positive start the upgrade on my Macs from High Sierra.
