Is this on the 2014 iMac in your signature?

You have to be kidding? wtf?? Anyone else? Are all 4 usb ports working for external or flash drives?
My drive consistently ejects itself with a mind of its own, the remounts seconds later. Only doing it on External HDD drive, and not my connected USB flashdrive pen.
Reported in nearly every beta version, still no help or fix. Seems 3 others have the same issue too in this thread.
On my late 2014 5k iMac (4Ghz 4GB gfx 32GB Ram) 2 bus powered USB drives and 2 powered usb drives connected and working ok. Swapped one powered drive for my iPhone 6S Plus and it charges ok. No problems.
I can break them all though by running VMware Fusion for a while and after closing that down the USB ports go wonky, e.g won't charge my phone or iPad till I reboot.
Guess why those advanced options are now cli-onlyIt is for this very same reason: it requires knowledge in order to operate it properly and/or make sure you don't mess up your system. People who are scared/not comfortable with the cli are usually also the ones that lack the appropriate knowledge and thus are far more prone in hosing their systems. Some things really are rocket science and thus require a rocket scientist so why bug a carpenter with it?
I'm curious, how is RAID an advanced option? Not everyone needs it but changing it to cli means one spelling mistake and you can kiss RAID goodbye compared to previous Disk Utility which was really hard for user to mess things up...?
I originally switched to Mac about 20 years ago because of GUI and no need to use POS cli... I am not impressed with the way Apple has been dumbing down OS X in the last few years!
Agreed. I'm currently on Mavericks which is the last relatively stable OS X, Yosemite and El Capitan have very little benefits for my needs and plenty of downsides!
Okay I will refine it........USB sound input devices still not working in 10.11.2!! And NAS's connected via the RJ45 port still very flaky...drop out frequently. 10.11.2.not good: 10.10.5 works well.
So, I installed the updates last night. Since then my MBP has crashed twice already when I open Safari and go to youtube. My computer freezes and it's unresponsive, I have to do hard poweroff and then power it back on.
The entire systems feels more buggy and laggy. Should've waited and not done the update.

Yes to the Mac Mini from my iPad, and from the Mac Mini to the iPad (needed wifi to be on)
People really need to do their homework before seeing ridiculous things like this. The only things that changed in all those years is the amount of money you paid for the upgrade and when these upgrades were released. Nothing has changed on the quality side or the amount of new stuff.
No because the list of changes is only a short list but not the full list of fixes. All the security fixes are absent on the list, Apple puts them in a security kb article:
OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 and Security Update 2015-008. Open the link and you'll understand why this is a kb article and not part of the list of changes everybody sees. Too technical for people.
Another thing to note: companies like Oracle and Microsoft have patch days for a very good reason: prevents users/customers to be flooded with updates. Having to update continuously is extremely annoying and results in very annoyed and angry users. It's a very efficient and effective strategy to turn people to competitors. That's why it comes in bulk. Sometimes as a list of separate updates you can install in 1 go and sometimes as a package (such as a service pack or whatever other gimmicky name they give it). Even with this there are people who still don't install updates which is why companies like Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc. have introduced auto-updating. Still, having to reboot daily because of yet another update that requires a reboot is going to be as annoying as with the manual update process. The only thing one could argue is Apple moving to a monthly patch day like Microsoft, Oracle and others.
There are several issues with VMware Fusion and USB. Most of them disappear by changing the USB Controller from USB3.0 to 2.0 in the VM settings. Have you taken a look at the Fusion release notes (these list issues like these)?
Click the wrong thing and guess what happens... People click around a lot and there will be quite a few who will make the right amount of clicks to end up with a hosed partition/volume layout. Having it in the GUI makes things like that way too easy to do. Imagine being able to turn something in a filevault volume. Just wait for the countless threads on forums like these with the question how to undo this because the person has lost the password... Not to mention the already many threads about people successfully messing up their entire partition layout because they messed with it in order to have a partition for boot camp.
Like I said: this is rocket science thus you need to be a rocket scientist. The average person who has heard of "RAID" generally thinks it is the same as a backup. That alone says enough.
You should have switched to Windows since they heavily rely on the GUI. I think the fact that Microsoft has changed course on that shows you how important CLI actually is. A lot of the advanced tasks you want to do automated or have a certain amount of control over it. You can't do this with a GUI do to positions of elements (a computer isn't intelligent enough to see where buttons/windows/etc. are the way we humans can). GUI's are usable for certain things and are completely unsuited/unusable for other things which also applies to the CLI. That's why the future lies in systems having both where the easy and common tasks are mostly GUI and the more advanced stuff is CLI. Something that has been the case with OS X since the first release.
maybe, but... just upgraded my 13-inch, now it says 'system integrity protection : disabled' instead of the detailed report it used to give in 10.11.1
but so far, so good. will play with it a bit before upgrading the others.
cheers
Weird. Not experiencing this on the four Macs I've installed the OS X 10.11.2 update on now.
Maybe try doing a restart holding down the shift key to ”Safe Boot” and after that start up normally again (i.e. without holding down shift). It does a few checks and clears some caches: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
I've finally taken the plunge and installed El Capitan on my Mac Pro. It was only really Creative Cloud holding me back. Well, it's only been one day but everything seems fine; not that different from Yosemite but noticeably quicker.
I've been using El Cap on my MacBook Pro since day one with zero problems.
I'm not doubting that people are having issues, but I think it's a little unfair to assume that the problems are effecting everyone.

Today I found a free app to eliminate adware. Works flawless go here: https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/mac/

Encountered another issue that might be related to the update last night.
I went to shut down my iMac for the night, the Finder froze, and wouldn't acknowledge any command to terminate, bringing the shutdown process to a complete stop.
The iMac was left in a semi-active state, that allowed me to use apps other than the Finder.
I was forced to do a hard power off after all attempts to resolve the issue failed.
