I'm enjoying El Capitan, particularly the twin fullscreen, though there are some things I'd like changed.
The two-up split view for apps is great, although it could benefit from 3 or 4 up view in a grid and maybe a horizontal format option. Also, responsive, complex websites such as youtube seem to get confused about the DOM width and break when viewed in this mode with Chrome or Safari. Not necessarily an Apple issue but obviously a discrepancy someone will have to look at.
The minimising menubar is useful a small screen, but its inconsistent, and it overlaps/obscures apps or pushes them down after which they don't return. It bugs me because it feels glitchy. Although, when in fullscreen mode, this doesn't happen. The pop-out is much more elegant, moving just the toolbar the app with it and returning it smoothly after.
Spotlight is meh. I understand the more colloquial search, but its useless without Siri. Why would I type long colloquial search terms? I'm guessing this is Apple taking baby steps, preparing to introduce Siri to spotlight proper, which could actually be quite useful.
Why is there no obvious way to open a Spotlight item in finder? I always forget the hotkey. Y U NO rightclick/cmdclick context menu item "show in finder"? Y U NO CONTEXT MENU AT ALL??!
Being able to move the window around is no big deal for me, and I assumed this would already be possible.. not sure why its listed as a new feature as opposed to a correction!
The Mission Control thing is basically the same except the desktop thumbs at the top start off minimised and duplicate program instances aren't stacked. I use it all the time.
The fullscreen composing in Mail is much better, basically as it always should have been. I haven't fiddled with anything else in Mail beyond swiping to delete, which is... well I don't know why it exists, since the delete key is faster.
I don't use Photos, Safari or Maps. I hear maps has public transport now. Woop de doo.
I cant detect any speed change on either of my machines, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.

Does anyone know somewhere productive to post all this shit rather than on here?
