I dont think Apple cares about either... USB they were slow to implement and Thunderbolt they we're way to quick to implement. Nearly three years since Thunderbolt was introduced in the Mac and I can still count the number of TB devices I've on store shelves with ONE hand... actually, not even that, I've NEVER seen a thunderbolt device on sale ANYWHERE.
Got a tip for us?

Come to think of it, I'd like a dock on each screen or at least pop-up support for side-bar docks. I mean that is kind of ridiculous to be missing on day 1. Why even offer a side-dock if you're going to support it properly? I know many would like it to be less bright for that matter (works OK with my backdrops). Maybe they could actually get SMB to work as well as Windows SMB? It totally doesn't talk to many older apps like XBMC as shipped, even when it's supposed to automatically downgrade to SMB1 if needed (doesn't work).
Anyone else find that if you do use a bottom mounted dock that it no longer migrates to your other monitor at all? It used to migrate in that position in 10.9 here, but now it acts just like the side dock and stays only on the primary monitor no matter what here. Hooray for making it even worse than before Apple! At least it's consistently bad now.
At least GMail seems to work again. Mail from 2 weeks ago magically appeared. If it weren't for the menu bar on all monitors, I think I would have stuck with Mountain Lion. 10.8.5 was flawless here.

Still getting beach balls in Safari when switching between tabs, and sometimes in iTunes. No other noticeable issues on a late 2013 13" Retina 8/256. I use Office 365 for email hosting, and I was getting certificate errors but haven't gotten any mail issues besides being slow to give notifications for new messages. Between my phone (5S), Outlook 2011, and Mac Mail, Mac Mail is by far the slowest. Phone alerts me first, then Outlook will within 30 seconds, and Mac Mail will pop up 1-3 minutes later. They are all setup as Exchange. I also have a Gmail account for school under Google Apps. Neither Mac Mail nor Outlook will connect as Exchange to that account but my phone will. Mac Mail for that account is setup under imap.
Seriously, as much as I love my Mac etc, I'm not purchasing another. It's great when it's working but all sorts of little quirks and hassles as well as bugs like this firewire one in Mavericks is just getting to the point where it's just not worth the hassle.
Another major annoyance was recently I wanted to use my 27" iMac as a display from a Thunderbolt-enabled PC. In my previous iMac it would work with any displayPort input, but as of Thunderbolt iMacs, the input had to be a FULL thunderbolt input. So of course I hunted down a decent (expensive) PC motherboard with thunderbolt and naturally it doesn't work, the iMac won't detect it as a valid video input signal. Funnily enough the Apple Thunderbolt Display DOES work with the PC Thunderbolt input (although I'm not spending £900 on a display). So I had to go buy an expensive Dell display for my PC rather than being able to re-use the iMac display.
It's just endless niggles and half-assed support/implementations and seemingly once Apple decides it's time to stop supporting something altogether you're screwed.
(All this is coming from a person who people describe as a 'complete Apple nut', so you can tell how much they've been irritating me of late)
Still won't play nicely with my NAS, won't mount the shares on its own.
About the only thing I was looking forward to in the 'fix'

Macbook Air i7 crushed after update
My 2011 Macbook Air with an i7 & 4GB ram is running like molasses after this update. Was acting fine before this update. Is anyone experiencing a similar issue? I'm not seeing a bottleneck in activity monitor. Thanks in advance.

Gmail read status
For some reason, my MacBook Air (mid-2011) running 10.9.1 is still not syncing read status to my Gmail and Google Apps accounts through Apple Mail. If I leave Mail running and open messages on my work Mac (also on 10.9.1) or on my iPhone or iPad, the Air still lists them as unread.
It does remove deleted or archived messages from the inbox, and it pulls in replies to the threads in the inbox, so it's not failing to sync entirely -- just missing the read status.
Any suggestions? I tried deleting the accounts and setting them up as new again last week, with the Mail patch but before 10.9.1 dropped, and that didn't help; would love not to have to do that again, but if it's likely to work, that'll be the next step.
Thanks.

Speaking of Thunderbolt, I was hoping this update would fix the inability of my MBAir to connect to my Thunderbolt display. Didn't happen. Display is still a REALLY expensive paperweight.

qtvr files
I would guess at quicktime problems but quicktime player will open qtvr and .mid
opening a raw file with quick look was really useful in 10.8 now it's probably quicker to open photoshop.
You are probably looking at hardware, not OS X fault.
If Anand Lal Shimpi can use TB display with his MBA, so should you.

Apple were THE early adopter of USB. Had Apple not adopted USB, it probably would have failed before anyone else adopted it.
No, but this one has bee around for just as long :- (Attached)
I still see "beach balls" when i shouldn't see them... Personally, if anyone was to thinking of upgrading, to Mavericks, from an 10.8, or 10.7, i would say, either say "stay put, your wasting our time." or "turn back now.... You'll regret it if you stay.'
I'm sure that's the feeling here too. I just can't understand, we've had 1 update try and fix Gmail IMAP issue,,, this makes 2 with 10.9.1, and its still beach balls....
What's wrong with you Apple.... Before Mavericks everything was hunky-dory with 10.8.5, at this stage its probably mature anyway, and now with 10.9, we go back to broke again...
And the cycle repeats........ This is starting to be boring....... Apple's fixes stuff but it breaks it all in an early OS.. Still its "supposed to be The Next release ..... I'm actually thinking is was actually thinking, its not ready for prime time. but you know Apple must release it on-time, and worry about bugs AFTER when users complain, and in this case, NOT FIX THEM.

Even though i'm pretty sure they're already reading it.

Well I'm not part of your "Many Others", my iMac hasn't had one issue with Wifi going from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and my TC is in a completely different room from my iMac.
