“Time flies: It’s been six months since OS X Yosemite’s launch,” Serenity Caldwell writes for iMore.
“First, we wrote the original gigantic review,” Caldwell writes. “Then, we got together and chatted about the operating system three months later.”
Caldwell writes, “Now, six months after the release of OS X 10.10, the iMore team is back at it to talk once more about Apple’s national-park-named operating system.”
Yosemite is the first version of OS X for me where it’s almost painful to go back to an older version based on looks alone. — Rene Ritchie

I hate it. I require two things from the tools I buy: They must look good and they must work good. 10.x it does not look good and that explains the price.
I’m a Apple guy since 10.1 who, as the resident sysadmin for the family (and a UNIX SysAdmin in real life), decided all the family should buy iThings for communications. I draw the line at a new MAC OS running this Uber Metrosexual interface though. And since when does white on barely perceptible tinges of white make sense? I can’t look at it so I can’t use it. If you say aesthetics are not that important you miss my way of thinking that says it’s 50% of the equation. If you say I can download a tool to make it look better you’ve completely jumped the shark. I did not buy my car thinking that maybe I could take it to the shop and have it painted and get better tires put on it. I spent the money on the product because it already had the nice paint and good tires.
At least, AT LEAST, the Apple shilling has died down. Six months ago all you’d read was about how fantastic the new desktop looked.
I am not a fan of Yosemite, who thought we needed Continuity? Do I need my iPhone and my Mac receiving the same text or phone call right next to one another? Luckily I felt much more positive feelings about Yosemite after I learned how to turn off all the annoying stuff. Like Notifications, Continuity, Safari’s power saver Flash tool. I think more would go back to Maverick if it was easier to do so.
