Plug in your device, then go to Image Capture > Click on device in the Sidebar > Click on up arrow at the bottom left of the window.

You can disable it when your device is plugged in and photos app is open. You will see an import tab. Click that tab, and clear the box "open photos when this device is connected".

However you must do this on each device you don't want photos open when you connect to your mac.

One thing I've that's been on my OS X wishlist for a long time is native Safari Airplay video that works similar to iOS, that is, you press the little airplay button and only the video gets sent to your ATV while at the same time you can continue to use your device while the video plays. Can anyone confirm if this is what the new "AirPlay video" feature enables? If so, I would love to see a screenshot or quick video (on the Mac end, not ATV).

EDIT: I didn't see there was a screenshot (covered by spoiler bar) of this very thing on the OP. This is very good news for those of us who have ATV's and stream a lot of videos. It will be nice not having to get out my iphone to stream a safari video I found while surfing on my Mac, nor having to set up the ATV as an "external display", which is quite cumbersome.

I'm not sure if this was in later versions of Yosemite or not, but there doesn't seem to be Dock options on the main menu anymore. I assume this is because you can already access those same options in system preferences and by right-clicking the dock spacer.

Yes, they removed that option in Yosemite.
 
I also noticed in the process of making my last comment that the dialog box that lets you select files seems to have changed. At the bottom are options to select from your Photos and iTunes libraries. You can even browse through your iTunes playlists. I wonder what this is meant to be used for.

Sorry, last one, I promise: If you three finger tap a link (same gesture as defining a word), it will open a preview. This works system-wide as well, so you can quickly view links in Messages and Mail. I remember a similar feature appearing a couple versions ago, in Mountain Lion I think, where a small black triangle would appear next to links and you could open a preview of webpages. That seemed to have disappeared for me in Yosemite, or I turned if off somehow on accident.

This is present in Yosemite too.

That is only available on desktop macs not on notebooks.

It's that way since... forever. (at least Mavericks)

It is available on some notebooks too. My Early 2008 MacBook Pro (running Yosemite) has it, but my Late 2013 MacBook Pro doesn't. I suppose it's because new Mac notebooks have no spinning hard drives and no sleep indicator lights either. That makes the distinction between display sleep and full system sleep irrelevant for most users. Power users (like me) who want to keep the computer active with display off can use the checkbox below the slider.

That's also present in Yosemite (I think it wasn't present in the earlier versions, but it's in 10.10.3 for sure).

I can't command + tab from a non full screen app to a full screen app. The full screen one doesn't even appear in the app switcher. Is there a setting I'm missing?

How are you running 10.11? I run it within VMWare Fusion (upgraded Yosemite) and it works fine without an extra setting.
