No problem.
Glad I could help.
I have no clue if the statement is true, though, because this is the second OS X release I have used. I did use Lion for a grand two days, but that hardly counts.
Got a tip for us?

Apparently, you shouldn't have. Restore from your cloned backup and wait for 10.9.2. (You do have a backup, right?)
My guess is that you have a conflict with some utility or you a have corrupted install. (Are you a developer? Or did you install from a torrent?)
Mavericks is not perfect. I've followed the bug reports on here--when folks actually give intelligible bug reports--and I've confirmed and documented and reported 4 minor bugs. But they are not show stoppers: 2 are cosmetic (and 1 of those is transient) and 2 show up in edge use cases. They need to be fixed, but they are the kind of things that are hard to catch in normal testing. And performance has been generally good throughout the DP release cycles.
Try some basic trouble-shooting, because it shouldn't be glitching on you.
So far, the only issues I've come across are related to graphics drivers issues on the computer screen itself when using Airplay mirroring. The screen kind of gets distorted in some areas and does not refresh correctly. Disconnecting Airplay restores the screen and it behaves normal again.
Other than that, everything is fine and seems more stable that Mountain Lion. I'm on a rMBP 15, and haven't run across the issues people here are complaining about.

That was actually my thought for the first freeze. I simply switched back to my Ubuntu. After a couple of hours (I used the Mac for testing purpose only), and switched back, Mac OS was restarted with some error on the login screen.
I have been using 10.9 GM since release day and I can say 10.9 is the best 10.x.0 release of all Mac OS releases since Mac OS 7.
My scrolling issues in Safari with my 11" Air is gone.
All Applications that I use is working fine.
I thought I would get more battery life than I got though.
Also, the Flash permissions stuff in Safari seems a bit flaky.

Mavericks GM has been pretty rock solid for me on an Early 2011 Macbook Pro 15", however I'm not going to discredit some people saying that there are issues.
As a developer, there will always be bugs that affect some people and not others - however I don't think it helps that Apple aren't always responsive to feedback on the bugs or issues people raise. I myself repeatedly raised with Apple the slowness of the UI animations in iOS, for example and they clearly didn't listen (I said the speed and responsiveness should at least match iOS6 - not a fan of having to wait for slow animations to complete, essentially blocking user input) and now there are complaints about the speed of the UI!
On topic though, I'm enjoying Mavericks and find it particularly smooth compared to previous versions of OSX on both my macbook and my work Mid 2011 iMac.

Speaking only for myself, I also have not had any issues with the 10.9 GM. I'm not a Safari user, so I haven't noticed any issues with scrolling (and I'm sensitive with motion/framerate issues I would notice if there was a problem). I've used Final Cut Pro X with no issues as well, although I run a pretty vanilla setup of that.
I went with an entirely clean install on a early 2011 Macbook Pro.

phew . . . I better call my doomsday preppers friends and tell them the good news then!
After a week of use, I am going back to ML, 10.9 GM is so buggy for me, even on multiple clean installs on a mid-2012 15" rMBP.
Performance wise it seems faster however.

saving mail attachments...
Is anyone having finder spinning wheel on saving attachment until it parses the folder(s) to show it's contents? Almost like it is re-indexing.
Can anyone test saving a mail attachment- when finder opens for search to save- does it take forever to open the different folders I.E. Dropbox etc?

Despite bugs, I think it should be released.
Until yesterday, I had to dual boot Lion and Mavericks (and previously Lion and Mountain Lion) - because I had a peripheral device which worked with Lion but did not work with Mountain Lion or earlier developer previews of Mavericks.
But to my surprise, it does work with the Mavericks GM.
So yesterday I got rid of the Lion partition and reclaimed the space.
Many of my colleagues who use the same device and have macs had the same problem. Some didn't even bother upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion.
Only one of them is a registered developer and has legal access to mavericks at the moment but I'm going to let everyone know that they can upgrade to mavericks when it is publicly released and the device will work (without having to dual boot with Lion).
This (as well as the Extend Desktop feature and better memory management) makes Mavericks a much better system than Mountain Lion or Lion.
