My mail app has worked fine with Gmail and Exchange since day one, and so has my SMB connections.

Was having the same issue as well as lots of beachballs and just put more memory in the machine which has made a great improvement. However, the extra cost of the memory means Maverick was no longer free.
Both. Neither worked. The MacBook works, it just gets too many beachballs/system hang ups for my liking.
I don't even know what OS y'all are using, as I don't experience any of those bugs and it was faster than Mountain Lion from the earliest releases.
Same here. My 2011 MBP was a bit ropey after an upgrade, so had to do a clean install. I did however do an upgrade on a 2013 iMac, and this is running perfectly. My work machine is still on ML, waiting a little while before I upgrade this one, but do not plan on doing a clean install.
I use Mail with GMail on both my MBP and iMac; haven't seen any problems. The battery life on my MBP is amazing now, a very noticeable improvement.
What's happening here is that your Mac is shutting down a lot of background processes. Forcibly shutting down will cause more problems. I never actually shut my systems down. I simply close my MacBook Pro when it's not in use. My Mac mini uses such an insignificant amount of power, I'm not concerned about it being on 24/7. It seems like the best solution here is to stop shutting your system down so often that the wait is annoying.

What's wrong with Quick Look? I haven't had any problems with it since upgrading to Mavericks, and I use it every day.

I use it every day. For me, it's still the fastest way to send and receive email. I care too much about my privacy to use Gmail, or other free services. My email service has great webmail, but I like using Apple's desktop mail app instead.

What problems are you having with Exchange? You ask that question as if EVERYONE who uses a Mac with Mavericks installed has problems with Exchange.
I haven't had this issue at all. I often run Parallels Desktop, and sometimes with more than one virtual machine running. Is there any consistency with which apps get bogged down? Not all apps play well with the new memory management feature in Mavericks. That's not Apple's fault.
I came from a ZIF drive to Sata III so if there's any slowdowns I'm not calibrated to detect them.
No but it can be put back via the System Preferences.

You mean me ?
In games, such as League of Legends, there are FPS drops once in a while, not based on performance, but just random drops. Seems like something going on in the background.
In Photoshop, higher settings on the GPU removes features that are suppose to be there. So, it´s not utilizing the gpu as it should.
Photoshop also gets random lags.
In After effects, the GPU Ram is filled extremely quickly. with web browsing simultaneously, my VRAM is full before I start After effects. And, I have 2gb VRAM.
So, in general, Mavericks was suppose to do a speed upgrade, stop using ram and cpu & vram for stuff going on in the background if its not visible. I have not noticed any speed upgrades based on that, actually on the contrary.
I even had a crash because all my 32gb of ram was full and the machine was working too heavy with Parallels, Unity 3d and Photoshop running simultaneously (even if not all was visible on the screen at the same time) I never experienced anything like this before.
So even if Mavericks should handle machine power better, so far I´ve not gained anything from it.
I can troubleshoot more in detail, if I knew you were going to do something about it
But I doubt it helps listing stuff like this in these forums Thus far, 10.9.1 hasn't fixed any of the bugs I have experienced in Mavericks. Finder still lags and scans randomly when browsing local drives (Spotlight has nothing to do with this, the disk is already indexed and can't get any more indexed). The 10.9.1 builds have also introduced a small wifi bug--if you turn the wifi card off, you can't turn it back on again.
I hope this update fixes the problem where I don't wake up a billionaire everyday. Fix it, Apple!
Actually, no. Your comment was the last I read and that was after I wrote the comment. "Fix Chess.app issues nao Apple!!!" is not very helpful. On the other hand slow graphics driver performance is a lot more specific (if not entirely that specific it at least narrows it down).

Actually, there has been a couple people in here being proactive in gathering information from the people having problems. You are right though that is not the norm.
At least it's better than the Apple forums which is littered with people who anything other than a true issue is answered with "it's just Apple's way, no you can't change it".
For those complaining about memory management, there are definitely some thread leaks with the kernel and other components in 10.9.0 that can cause memory usage to balloon, and cause swapping. There may be some small bugs with the new memory management that can cause swapping to occur when it shouldn't normally (this has happened to me twice, shortly after restarts, where it shouldn't be), but I would guess that those were caused by software bugs as well.
I wish I didn´t feel that it was a loong road to get heard by apple. It´s one of the very few things I dislike about the company. But I guess it´s the same with windows, it´s just such huge companies, that what one single person says has no meaning, its the number of complaints that matters.
But currently I wish I never installed Mavericks. I didn´t get anything I needed except some color tags and a few notification improvements. But lost a lot of performance and got buggy softwares (a LOT of subtle errors which becomes annoying by the numbers). But I feel its wrong to downgrade, which is why I atleast hope the next patches or two will fix some of these issues..not just silly mail.pp bugs...which in my opinion are superficial...because it´s just a mail app, if it´s not working properly, there´s plenty to choose from.
Oh well, I cross my fingers.
It was the best of upgrades, it was the worst of upgrades. Pretty amazing the opposite experiences people are having, including on the same hardware. It's been the best .0 upgrade in years for me across 3 different iterations of MBP. All machines "seem" faster, shut down times dramatically less, memory management much better, power management at least somewhat better.
I don't spend a lot of time in Finder scrolling files so can't necessarily speak to that, but when I am there, seems like maybe some slight lag, but not enough to get in my way at the moment. Quick view on RAW files does seem to lag too, though again not to the degree that others seem to be seeing. Not seeing beach balls everywhere I turn, with the occasional exception of on my late 2008 MBP, but then again, with that machine that has been true since SL.
.1 Mail for me is more stable than .0, especially on Exchange, though again, I didn't even see Exchange issues to the degree that others seem to be experiencing. My worst experiences with Exchange were in Lion, by far (also my worst upgrade experience). Gmail, I've not had problems since the early DP days for Mavericks.

In my experience I'd say the exact opposite. In general any .0 or .1 release is going to have more bugs than any .5 or .8 release. With any major software release, OS or otherwise, if you are sensitive to bugs you should always wait until it hits .3 or even higher.
This comment shows up with every Apple release that has release notes listing some fixes. Apple probably has thousands of bugs in their database. An update can potentially fix dozens of bugs, so they're not going to list all of them, particularly over the course of multiple seeded betas. In virtually every case, point updates fix more than what is listed in the release notes.
