I have seen this a couple of times in High Sierra. It happened though I had approximately 10 GB free ( Macbook pro with 16 GB)Is this new? Don't think I've ever seen it before on any OS X release. (Of course, could just be that there's some memory leak in the beta...)
To be fair I did have Xcode, Photoshop and Chrome open - though it seemed to be running fine, and memory pressure in Activity Monitor was green (8GB RAM), so maybe it's a bug?
So the actual windows and menus got darker as well? Or are they affected by some darker wallpaper you have?
No, the "About this Mac" window didn't use the normal window gray color in High Sierra.
Lol I use my hackintosh on a 40" 4k Screen. As long as you cant add new rows to the Launchpad this would look ridiculous on my screen
Its would be like:
Icon, 10cm, next icon, 10 cm , Icon
ah ah
true, never thought about it but on larger screen it probably wouldn't scale that well
I want to be able to cut/paste files and folders throughout the finder. Instead of having to get third-party apps
Actually I tried it another time (last time was in Yosemite I think) and this time it worked out pretty well and this kind of looks awesome.ah ah

Last time I got tiny Icons spread all over the place
You can. Copy files as normal and then use Command-option-V to paste. That will move them rather than copy (effectively a cut and paste). Been around since Lion, not new in Mojave.
Can confirm that system updates and App Store app updates now show up separately. System Preferences is badged with a 1 just like Settings on iOS.
A more modern implementation of the classic Software Update app vs. throwing all the updates into the App Store. What's old is new in Mojave, and that's not a bad thing.
So far, other than the dropping of support for older hardware, all the changes in this OS have been positive. Features like dark mode and tab favicons in Safari have been wanted for a very long time, which means Apple responds to feedback even if it's sometimes a full decade later as in the case of Safari tab favicons. Will probably end up updating faster from High Sierra to Mojave than I did from Sierra to High Sierra, on my Macs that can at least.

Safari's cookies and website data options have been reduced to one checkbox to "Block all cookies". In previous Safari versions there was the options to "Allow from the current website only" or "Allow from websites I visit".
An odd step backwards considering how they announced better tracking protection. Some cookies are useful, but third party cookies are almost exclusively used for tracking.

Really hard to judge... especially because the releases are NOT always spread out evenly.
As a rule of thumb though... I'd say one DP per month.
None that I have found. Still just HFS+

On average every other week.
Don’t know if this is answered already but it’s a user preference and it defaults to off.
Unfortunately that doesn't appear to be the case. With content blockers installed, "Ask websites not to track me" and "Prevent cross-site tracking" enabled, I cleared all data then visited "time.com" (a site known to have a ton of trackers and other junk) and cookies are now on my computer from:
ajax.googleapis.com
amazonaws.com
bounceexchange.com

Great... so they managed them to be scaled right
If you try 11 columns by 9 or 8 rows, it will look even better.. more spaced
I just checked Safari in High Sierra and it looks the same as yours from Mojave. It looks like this feature actually changed much earlier than you think.
They added a number of new privacy features to Safari, including something called Intelligent Tracking Prevention 2.0. I wonder if rather than explicit block/allow third-party cookies, they are using this technology to accept third-party cookies, but limit how they are actually used. Or maybe that's something different, I don't know. Either way, I just retried your test and went to time.com in Safari Technology Preview with Prevent Cross-site tracking enabled(on High Sierra, not Mojave) and I saw that Safari TP saved caches from the trackers, but NOT cookies.
I don't remember Safari missing those options in High Sierra, but I never used any version past 10.13.2. Safari 11.1.1 in El Capitan still had all the options though.
According to Apple's help page:
It appears that Safari does automatically block third party cookies. (Thanks to RabidMacFan for the link)
