Since installing El Capitan on our two Macbook Airs (2011 SSD and 2015 SSD) both somehow but noticeably run slower when switching or firing up apps. The whole system seems to run with a handbrake activated. Apple support is full of people experiencing the same issue. I'm somehow surprised this is not more of a topic yet.
 
Anyone using the beta, can you tell me if it fixes this issue or adds an option to turn off:

In finder window, if you click on a folder moving forward, then click on the back button, it defaults to the top of the finder window instead of the original location you were browsing. This is a problem when you have hundreds of files and have to scroll back to your original location.

This default to top finder view is in El Capitan but not previous OS X versions. There are a lot of us annoyed by this like natural scroll but at least natural scroll added the option to turn off.
Not fixed. But I didn't notice it before and now that you pointed it out I will notice it all the time. Thanks, Obama! ;)

Running the latest 10.11.2 beta on my 13" rMBP, and yes, the issue finally got fixed. Finder does remember where I was scrolled to.
 
May try this again in VM.... hope secure empty trash is is back.......*cross fingers* Apple really wants to leave it out as to restrict it as the option to use SSD's... what about external spinning drives ? don't they count anymore? Obviously not. This is why i stayed with Yosemite, but i may test this in VM again.
 
OK, checked further. Icon view and list view: works correctly. Column view (which I use most of the time) – nope. If it works for others, though, I guess I should blame XtraFinder.

You're right, still not fixed for column view. Only for the list and icon views.

Please fix this whole Crapitan crap, cause now it's worse than Windaube
 
Please fix the whole AFP SMB crap Crapitan brought up

Correction: this has been an issue since 10.8, long before El Capitan. Not sure if your post was intended to mock people for wanting things fixed so quickly but in the case of SMB, it's been years and Apple has even acknowledged it as a known issue.

Still waiting....
 
El Capitan is full of bugs, I was hoping for more frequent updates but anyway. Never updating to a new release on launch day

I used to be an early adopter of OS X upgrades, but no more. I learnt that the hard way with Yosemite. This time around I'm waiting for the .2 release before even thinking of moving to El Capitan.

There's a difference between more frequent and shipping bad updates. I say have great updates every month or so.
 
The major problems I've had are corruption and lost emails in the MAIL program, but even worse, the failure of peoples Apple ID's to be recognized, which results in a loss of your entire iTUNES library should you sync and no use of your iTunes library or access to iCloud or FaceTime.

This is a MAJOR BUG that Apple seems to have no clue how to fix. Even people at The Apple Store seem to have no solution other than for you to LOSE EVERYTHING! UGH!

I've done multiple clean installs and there's no way I can keep my music and my email with El Capitan or use the features I could use in Yosemite. There are various theories as to the why on these MAJOR Apple screw ups, but as for now according to Apple Discussions, the solutions are VERY ARCANE and not complete solutions. Nobody, even Apple seems to have a solution.

Not many people with lots of email accounts want to go through the hellish nightmare of setting up all their email accounts from scratch. Nor re-paying for their iTUNES library.

Also purchased videos no longer work in iTUNES. Don't know if its a codec issue or what, but as Steve Jobs would say if alive, El Capitan is a "Bag o' Hurt." At least now.

I hate to say it, but people are starting to say that this operating system release is the worst release since Microsoft VISTA. :-(

Latest update refuses to recognise multi-monitors unless I unplug them and then plug them into a different port every single time my mac goes to sleep. Bug testing at its finest.
All 3 monitors (1 internal and 2 external) still wake up on my 2012 15" non-r MBP (512MB nVidia 650M) - just as they have on all the 10.11.2 betas.

What Mac system are you running?
