You miss the point. It isn't what you want. Other people do other things and just because you don't want a feature does not mean it should be dropped. You propose the tyranny of the majority. That is bad.

You're proposing a "tyranny" of another sort, right? The tyranny that says I've got to support everybody's whim. If I'm a company and I want to progress my product, you're proposing that I can't in the way that I want (out with the old) because you want me to support something really old, say Apple Lisa (or equivalent). If you really want to run an Apple Lisa, go see if you can scrounge one up. You just can't run it with Mavericks and there's no compelling business reason why Apple should support that desire either. The majority isn't preventing you from going out to buy one though.
Update: Apple Technical Support simply had me delete the ~\Library\Caches directory, and it works fine. Don't know what about the cache files was bad, but it works great now!
Unfortunately, it still won't update for me.
I have iMovie from an iLife disk purchased years ago - and the Apple store still wants me to pay $14.99 to upgrade.
iPhoto and Garageband both upgraded for free just fine. But not iMovie.

Make sure it's in the main Applications folder, not a subfolder. That's what it took for iWork to update for me.
Only Apple can do this because they control the hardware and the software. This is why everyone should choose Mac over PC.
Anyway yeah great to see the power of iMovie unlocked for even more people with this exceptional update.

iOS on OSX
I would very much like to be able to run iOS apps on OSX, similar to how the simulator runs them in XCode. Should be very easy for Apple to add this emulation support to OSX. Touches are clicks, swipes are swipes on a magic mouse or pad essentially mirroring multitouch on the iOS app. maybe click and drag for accel tilts, but not really concerned about that. 90% is good enough.

... I very much convinced that Apple should never have released iMovie Version 10.
The given functional scope is very, very, very poor and it is impossible to work with larger libraries. i.e. my library covers 5 years of video material split into 300 events nicely sorted by date in Version 9, whereas Version 10 offers my only an alphabetic list without any indication of date/time stamp!!!!
All the shame goes to the apple release manager, who seem *NEVER* to have really worked with more than 10 events! It was also no-where mentioned, that "sorting by date" was rereleased!
Since I couldn't find any workaround in Version 10, I've back-migrated to Version 9 (... and deleted the newly created Version 10 video library by hand to prevent from doubling all video material!!!!)
I hope that many more people complain about Version 10, so that Apple will start fixing the Version 10 and to bring it function wise to at least par with Version 9!
Therefore "OpenCL-capable graphics card support" is really not priority number 1!
What do you expect from an Apple app? Apple's new definition of 'easy to use' means 'horribly simplistic bastardized version of what you use'. Have you tried calendar on ios7 yet?
Chapter Markers! Anyone else with me on them adding Chapter Markers back to iMovie 10?
The fact that Apple removed the ability to set chapters is beyond my comprehension. Interestingly, when iMovie 08 came out it did not have the ability to set chapters either!
Because Apple received so many complaints, chapter setting was added back in for iMovie 09 and iMovie 11. Now it's back out again!
On another sad note, it appears that Yosemite breaks iMovie HD (a.k.a. iMovie 06). Various workarounds have been proposed on Apple discussions.
Make your desires known to Apple. I know for a fact they read these.
