The changes made to multi-touch are horrific. Worst of all I can't even edit them. What the hell Apple.
Got a tip for us?

Touchè
That's not Safari, that's Lion's resume feature. Don't like it, go turn it off in General settings.
"Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps."
It does it for all the Apple apps, this has been a well known feature and it's behavior has been known ever since Lion was announced. So if you open up QuickTime for example, it will load the last opened media.
Another way around it is to just be sure to close all the windows of an app before quitting it. Personally I rarely quit apps so it's not a big deal to me, I also leave "indicator lights" on the Dock turned off so most the time I don't even know if I quit an app.
Very annoying. Why on Earth then i need "New Windows open with: empty page" and "New tabs open with: empty page" setting in the preferences?
I think resume option should honour those settings or at least warn that those won't work if resume is enabled.
All i do since i installed GM is facepalm myself.
Because those settings still apply when you open new windows and tabs? Why would you think those settings somehow don't matter because there is resume? There could still be a scenario where you open Safari, it resumes to the exact same Windows/Tabs you had open when you quit, but then you want to open a new Window or Tab. Those settings still go into effect when you choose to do that.
As I said before, if you close all the open windows/tabs before quitting, it will open on a fresh new unused window. Resume is a global setting and has nothing to do with Safari specifically. It lets you open apps and resume where you left off. If you don't find it handy, turn it off, it's really that simple.
You honestly just sound like you aren't liking it because it's different, give yourself time to get used to it, or at least set it how you like it before you go writing it off.
Personally I find resume to be a welcome feature, I have quit Safari on accident before and lost so many open tabs it was annoying. Same thing with plenty of other apps, and when combined with the new autosave feature I also won't lose my data. Even when I reboot, everything comes back up exactly where I left it.
Turn it off already and move onto the next thing you don't like about Lion.
I hate such global option either all ON or all OFF. Not very smart thing to do. Why should i turn it off, it's a nice feature, but don't treat every application the same. Clearly it doesn't make sense with Quicktime and i bet there will be many more application where it doesn't make sense.
P.S. When i open Safari if i have set "Open new Window" to empty page i expect it to open empty page not to resume last session. It's a conflict admit it.
You get used to it, but I will agree it would be nice if there was a per application setting. That said it's not really a big deal.
I changed my habits within a week of using the Lion DP on my MacBook Air. Now that I have the GM installed it is pretty much second nature to just leave all my apps open at all times and just close the windows when I am done with them. There are a few apps I still choose to quit that I don't use often, like QuickTime, but even in those I close the window before choosing the quit option. Safari is such a huge part of my daily use that quitting it is really kind of pointless, closing tabs and windows makes more sense.
So yeah, it would be nice to see a per app setting I guess, and maybe it will happen at some point.
Likely to avoid confusion, but I wouldn't worry much about this. Either turn off the global setting, use a different browser, or just wait until there is a better solution.
I still don't get why it's such a big deal. Why does it even matter if it resumes what you last had open?
I also just noticed if you turn on Private Browsing mode then it won't resume the open tabs and windows when you quit.
Good job. You're leaving without even trying 10.7. Too bad you'll never know that iSync still exists. (Not like that matters anyway)
Hopefully it works for exclamation marks too!!!!!
But im all seriousness i like the idea of this feature. Nothing worse than someone writing on your Facebook wall ' im boooooredddd' Hopefully MS implements it too. Infact id like to see it go a step further, the keyboard should administer an electric shock if someone types words like that!

I can autorepeat letters on Chrome on text input like the used to write this post but it doesn't autorepeat in search boxes
More bugs and annoying things:
1. Time Machine can't finish backups.
2. Installers hang on "Validating " step.
3. Spotlight index takes forever (not a bug, but it's going on since 8 in the morning and still not done).
4. Scrolling is shot.
5. Random slowness.
6. Something.

Time Machine works fine here. Spotlight also.
Everything else you mention I didn't really understand.
I'd bet good money that the vast majority of problems in this thread are caused by upgrades rather than clean installs.
Was the same way with Leopard and Snow Leopard. Those who did clean installs had little problems (like bad multi-display support) to no problems.
Moral of the story: do clean installs. NEVER upgrade OSes. That goes for Mac OS, Windows, and iOS. Always clean, always fresh start.
Everyone should go here http://www.apple.com/feedback/ as well as email schiller@apple.com and sjobs@apple.com and demand a DVD or flash drive version of the OS that will allow for clean installs.

What about ~80% of the people who update there SL in the Appstore in the next week(s)
... I never had any problems with upgrading Leopard to Snow Leopard.
