I set up my gmail account fresh and chose gmail auto set up which set it up as imap. This seems to work.

Yeah, the IMAP config, despite Google's screwy implementation of IMAP, works much better that the POP3 config in El Capitan. We have a special situation and workflow that is geared towards POP3, and that one continues to crash the Mail app with the account "active". We went through a lot of grief with the Yosemite betas as well. Hopefully the fix will come soon. I am planning to remove and re-add the account later this evening to see if that helps.
As far as I know you need Xcode 6 to develop apps for iOS 8, so there's a reason there
I always see developers complaining about non developers who install DP on their devices, saying that it's not right for them to download betas since betas are for developers, while that's true, they have the freedom to do that and I don't see that as a bad thing, I think they are just curious about the new things and curiosity it's a good thing, maybe curiosity is what lead most of developers to become that, maybe downloading betas without being a developer could be their first step to become one.
Sure but I don't think Apple would want feedback for non developers, so there's no harm there
It's more that they go to the effort to download it, but don't read the release notes. That's more the point. I'm not on the Dev program, but I still read the notes before installing, so I know I don't come making comments about known issues....
Not really. You can do checks on the file to confirm its from Apple. Plus no one is quick enough to make changes to the beta 1 and then get it out to People, plus once you're on the beta, beta2 onwards come thru the Mac App Store, direct from Apple....
I agree, but well I just ignore them, the only harm I found is when they write bad reviews to apps because of the betas
I thought these updates were only for us devs... first thing I do is open up Xcode to continue my project, only to see that it doesn't work with El Capitan Beta 2 anymore.
"No problem", I said to myself, "there's a 6.4 beta that should work fine". Except it doesn't.
Xcode 7 isn't an option because I consider releasing my game within the next 2 weeks and if I convert it to Swift 2.0 it'll get rejected because it's a beta language that has been compiled with a beta compiler.
Seriously... ?
Luckily, if you Show the Package Contents of Xcode.app, then go under /MacOS/, you can start Xcode 6 through the terminal. Not like they bothered telling us or anything ........

Also got an error when trying to open the iCloud control panel leading to believe that might be the cause.
Edit: Looks like my iCloud account had corrupted. Signing out (turning off Photos library first) and re-signing in seems to have fixed this and the syncing issues I had with b1.

This release seems to have a few graphical glitches for me, especially in Finder. A weird issue with one of my pinned Safari tabs caused rampant memory leaks, but simply closing that tab (unpinning then closing as normal) restored all the memory available.
Memory usage over time seems to be a lot better as well, though I've only used it for ~5 hours or so.
Cornerstone, a SVN app I relied upon (more feature rich than Versions) will now no longer launch at all, even though I erased all trace of it off my HDD and re-downloaded it from their site. This is a mild inconvenience at most, since all I have to do is fiddle around with the Terminal a bit more to do my commits and tags.
All in all, in my particular use case it seems slightly less stable than DP1. I'm not going to complain too much about it, since it was indeed my choice to install the earliest beta possible
The fact that so many of the "fluff" apps I used (XtraFinder, anything with SIMBL) doesn't really work has forced me to get used to doing without, which means I won't have a need to reinstall these apps, which again increases system performance

SF - iOS and OS X
SF Compact - Apple Watch.
Note that even in the SF Family, there's SF Display meant for 20pt sizes and higher, and SF Text, which is mainly for smaller than 20pt. TextKit automatically switches between the two.
No. TRIM by default - turned off.
But those who activated the trim in beta 1 - continue to use it ...
Also, Apple has made it possible to run trimforce in protected system.
sudo trimforce enable and sudo trimforce disable in beta 2 - no need rootless=0
