For example fairly frequently, a coworker will try to send me an IM through HipChat (using Messages as the client), and the message will come to me over text. Some of my coworkers have had issues with Messages sending to the wrong contact method. The iCloud and iPhone integrations are nice, but I don't have any other iOS devices to really make use of it.

I use the Outlook for Mac app (part of Office 365) for my email/calendar, and I feel that it's better than the baked-in stuff provided here. I also really dislike the new Spotlight, with the search bar in the middle of the screen.At first I had a few issues with other apps being upgraded or optimized for Yosemite (mostly Homebrew/developer stuff), but most of that has been ironed out by now.I don't really use any of the built-in apps (mail, calendar, messages), but they seem like solid upgrades over their previous versions. I preferred the look of Mavericks' dock, and I don't really like the folder icons in finder, or alot of the new app icons for that matter (not a huge deal since I overrode them with custom icons anyway). That being said, I'm not a huge fan of everything. I switched back to my previous MBP for a little bit to migrate some old files, and I'm amazed by how cartoony Mavericks looks in comparison. The new version of Safari almost stole me away from Firefox, but not quite. Seems more stable under heavy load than my previous one. On the new MBP, it is fast and responsive. I will say when I initially upgraded on the old one, it seemed sluggish for the few days I had it. It's hard for me to judge exactly how much faster Yosemite is than Mavericks because I got a new MBP as part of my final upgrade.

I will be ruling out hardware issues by taking advantage of Apple's free repair scheme for GPU issues with 2011/2012 Macs to ensure it isn't the hardware, but I am confident this is a shoddily coded, poorly tested, POS of an operating system is the route cause of, or at least a massively exacerbating factor in, the GPU issues that so many Yosemite users have developed since 'upgrading.'

Might as well have picked up a £350 PC laptop if I can't make use of my discrete graphics and can't load bread and butter creativity software without an embarrassing crash.

I am trying to do pro work and I paid extra for a machine for that purpose. You can keep your bells and whistles, transparent windows and notification centers, if it falls over whenever I try to load Photoshop, it's as good as useless to me. Thing is, Vista didn't crash every time it switched from internal to discrete graphics cards, which means, that terrible as it was, it was fundamentally more stable and reliable than Yosemite.
#MAC OS X YOSEMITE MAC OS FOLDER WINDOWS 8#
Frankly, these issues make it the worst OS I have ever used, and I have used both Windows 8 and Vista in the past. Also, loads of software isn't compatible. Not best impressed that I basically can't use the discrete graphics card properly on my £2k (when new) 2012 machine without a total system hang. Unless you like GPU panics, hard crashes, freezes and lower performance in benchmarks than Mavericks. Fortunately for me, I've only had to deal with minor annoyances with Yosemite. I'm pleased and hopeful Apple will take its time and make El Capitan less buggy than Yosemite (and similarly with iOS), since I know some users have had to deal with frustrating bugs. Fortunately, mDNSResponder is back in 10.10.4. My problems, though, occurred in Mavericks, not Yosemite. I do believe Apple needs to continue refining the UI, and I'd like to see a return of some features such as Command-d for Don't Save in a dialog and less nagging about system updates (since I'm on metered satellite Internet, my updates must wait until I'm up at midnight).I did run into some unpleasantness with Discoveryd, the buggy successor to mDNSResponder (part of Bonjour). I've always admired Helvetica, one of the best typestyles ever, so having a variant as the system font was not an unwelcome change for me. This time, transparency has been employed in an aesthetically pleasing manner that doesn't detract from usability.
I know the UI design has been controversial, but overall I'm satisfied with it. One of the best parts of using Yosemite (and Mavericks) has been the significantly improved battery life on my MacBook Pro.
Still, most of the awkward elements of 10.7 have been smoothed out at this point.
It's been a sometimes bumpy ride the last few years starting with 10.7 Lion. I've found OS X 10.10 to be a robust, powerful OS that operates in a way that makes sense and works very well for me.
