We heard the same thing ever since Lion when they released GateKeeper. They still haven't removed that option.
If it happens, it's not like you can't move to Linux.
Although we can still eventually change system files in Windows for example, if apple forces integrity check, deep optimisation could be a nightmare.
Could I say a not successful try of combination of new design and compromise of skeuomorphism?
Microsoft has added integrity check on key system files.
I am not sure if apple will add it to the system in this release.
On iOS a "rootless" feature makes sense for Apple. The only people who need root are jailbreakers which Apple is trying to prevent (I am a jailbreaker and this saddens me). On OS X for the average user this feature could add security I suppose. If you are a power user however this kinda just rains on your parade. OS X is a Unix based OS. The very nature of Unix is having a root user. I hope before the release in the fall they add a way to turn this off in the security settings.
The new dictionary lookup font is small for me as well.Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the three-finger lookup text seems a bit smaller to me:
Also, has anyone figured out how to float an individual note from the new app? Double clicking its name on the sidebar doesn't do it anymore.
As long as apple want to lock system in this degree, users will find a way to let them do in-depth customisation.
By default it is impossible to show hidden and system protected files in finder. I bet they will not add this function to this version.
Isn't using the RETURN key or slow double click faster than right click and then click and then keyboard?
Of course those are faster. This is just for Windows users and their weird habits.
I think the windows way is faster than mac way.
And, why we cannot simply use delete button to delete file to trash can?
It probably is, though I haven't used Windows for a long time and am just used to keyboard navigation when it comes to renaming files.
You have to ask Apple that, it is sometimes irritating, but adds an extra layer of preventing accidental deletion of data.And, why we cannot simply use delete button to delete file to trash can?
I am fine with it.
Reaching for a secondary input device, clicking a button, finding the correct menu item and clicking it, then returning to your keyboard to start typing, is objectively slower than hitting return and start typing.I think the windows way is faster than mac way.

You just proved it by wanting a single keyboard command to perform a different (and destructive) operation.

Not only is the font smaller, they also tweaked the visual appearance of the lookup. By the way, I didn't know it, but Apple seems to update the dictionary, nice.
Here's a screenshot from Yosemite for comparison:
Ok. For rename, yes I admit this is really slow. But when consider the possibility of opening a file, and renaming a file, I think, windows has done a good job on that. You know, every time I want to open a file selected in finder, I need to move my hand to trackpad or mouse, and double click. This is identical to what windows does the renaming operation.
Talk about deleting, what I hope is to delete it into trash can, but not a permanent delete. Do I still need to drag the file all the way to trash can? If I use mouse, it is ok. But when I use trackpad, this is a pain, especially when I need to move my finger on trackpad many times to let the file reach the destination.
And can you use keyboard navigation to open any files? I admit I am a newbie on using Mac.
That is what backups are there for.
And what is the advantage of deleting a file (putting it into the Trash) and storing it there? Why delete it in the first place?
And there is also that tap to lock feature, where you double tap a file or object and it can be dragged quite easy without getting cramps.
Yes, one uses CMD and the arrow down button. Easy if one has done it often enough, not easy for those not accustomed to that command.

⌘ + delete
This will send selected files to the trash can.
P.S. Keyboard shortcut to empty trash:
⌘ + Shift + delete
