Don't really care about Mavericks, upgraded to El Capitan a couple of months ago, enjoying speed and stability.

Everything since Yosemite makes the UI pretty darn laggy if I put my resolution to "More Space". They still haven't fix anything in El Capitan regards to that (Especially App folder animation). Not to mention both me and my wife still find the green button for maximize/minimize function to be a huge cluster ****. It's entirely pointless and awful for people who are in software development.
 
My 2011 17" MacBook Pro had a firmware update as well. I wonder what that was about. Build 15C50.

It's interesting to hear that perspective! I'm also a software developer, and I love full screen apps. In fact, I pretty exclusively use full screen apps, aside from Finder.

It's different to use too... It's lost a lot of great features
No it didn't lose those features. They are still there but the major difference being where they are. Previously they were all in the GUI but as of El Capitan the advanced features have been moved to the commandline version (which has always had more options than the GUI version). If you want to do advanced stuff like that the commandline has always been the best choice around.

The GUI lost the features then... What you have to remember is that a lot of people are not comfortable using terminal.

As I've said in related threads before, a setting to change the functionality of the green button back to what it was pre-Yosemite would be nice, and Shift-click or Option-click to go fullscreen on the rare occasion it's desired. I use fullscreen often as well, on my 13" rMBP (posting this from a fullscreen Safari window now, in fact). However, on my 27" riMac I don't need it and hardly ever use it. I currently use BetterTouchTool to change the green button's behavior on there, but it doesn't always work well, and a setting in System Preferences would be much better.

Great... can they fix the graphics issues, though? Everything about El Capitan is speedier except for the graphics; this thing taxes my GPU more than any other version of Mac OSX has. Certain animations are quite laggy on my laptop. They told beta testers to focus on graphics. What for if they aren't even going to improve them? I better see some improvements when I updated my laptop.

Also, there's still this issue many are suffering from where El Capitan constantly bugs them about their USB ports using too much power... even while there aren't even any USB devices plugged in. My notifications center plasters me with a new alert every five seconds, so I had to disable them. Of course, it also disabled two of my USB ports, and my USB hub is now dead. However, in Moutain Lion, it only gives me one alert, and ALL my USB ports work. Fix this crap, Apple.
 
Apple should post the files then the press release. Would cut down on "where is it" 1 hour after the press release.
Files are load replicated, by region in the US and country around the globe. Posting them once they are globally available won't stagger the load on the servers, but deploying them as they do, incrementally, does do that. No fan will ever be satisfied.

I look forward to the day when people complain of space-time delays in subspace communications.

There is a altered "old" version from Yosemite that is floating around that works with El Cap.

edit: I see someone posted it above. ;)

I'm not saying it is, but I'd consider that to be a security risk. I've still got a mac running Yosemite. It originally ran Snow Leopard, and for me, SL is still the best OS X.

I'll continue to use diskutil on my iMac and Yosemite on my macbook

You realize you can get the old resize behavior by double clicking on the chrome? It was pointless to have the green button duplicate that.
