I've installed on my late 2013 15-inch. It seems very quick. I don't notice any lag or sluggishness. 16GB, 2.6 GHz.
Not that it really matters anymore, but Steve Jobs was hugely against the idea of touch laptops.
As has been every Apple executive since then. They’ve all said it’s not happening. In an interview just the other day, Craig said it’s not happening.
To my tastes, Big Sur is stunning. I'm also really enjoying the various app improvements.
I thought there was a bug in Messages because the search field didn't work. After letting it work over night (presumably to index messages), the search now works fine.
My only actual complaint (too strong a word) is that the notifications and widgets are in the same vertical column. I found that the widgets (I only have two) scrolled off the bottom of the page when there were a bunch of notifications.

I can no longer see my entire list of stocks in Notification Center - only the Indices and three stocks! Is there a way to fix that?
The UI is exquisitely tuned to mouse usage. For example, I'm sure they spent quite some time deciding exactly how much to increase the menu bar height. Redesigning to support touch usage and mouse usage at the same time would be a significant challenge.
Also, I HATE FINGERPRINTS ON MY SCREEN.

I believe the hourly rainfall only shows up when it’s raining, but it shows in many areas.
I've never had a Mac my entire life... I'm 52. Been Windows..! Got a MBP a few months ago and goodness its a great machine. Catalina was cool, but this Big Sur is just amazing. Best OS I've ever worked with. Great job Apple!
And FINALLY Messages search finds usernames and not just message content. That only took since '03 to implement. I continue to wish that the search terms would be highlighted in messages (or that the highlighting that's present were more prominent) but I'm a fan of the improved functionality overall.
Good point about the Finder. Apple made a judgement call that the user needs more vertical space on the left for the sidebar than horizontal space for the toolbar. That is consistent with my needs; I have many favorite locations and devices displayed in the sidebar and very few icons in the toolbar. I don't think they made that decision casually and without substantial user input. However, there will be a ton of users agreeing with you, finding it to be exactly the wrong decision because of the reason you gave.
ok. so I installed Big Sur on my iMac 2019 27" i9 with just 8GB of ram
I am not having any problems. safari is very responsive
I was getting Video artifacts popping out of safari on Catalina . I contributed it to only having 8GB of ram
So far no problems at all

As was said above, you use AirPort Utility to erase the Time Capsule drive.
Disk Utility is only for DASD drives (USB, Thunderbot, SATA, etc.) Network drives (NAS) like Time Capsule need a utility that commands the NAS to erase itself.
My Siri button on the TouchBar is non functional. Anyone else having this? Also occasionally I get a black background on a portion of the top title bar near the time.
Not a fan of the translucent windows I hope there is an option to get a solid color. The slight break between the popup windows and the finder menu bar...dunno...
Lets not forget this is a computer OS and we should concentrate more on capabilities than sheer looks, this is not a Channel bag.

I'd recommend against APFS formatting if your TM drive is a spinner. APFS was engineered with SSDs in mind, and will thrash traditional HDDs. Do it if you want to, but it's a terrible idea.
