Super impressed with El Capitan

Wow! Is that with an SSD or a regular hard drive?

It's the 2.0GHz version that I upgraded back then with 8GB of memory and an SSD because I wanted to run several virtual machines. Still has the same config.

No difference whatsoever. Perceived speeds after an update are usually placebo.

The same bugs still persist: Safari and Textedit do not remember window placement, although Textedit now pops up at some other random coordinates (x=440, y=0) than before (x=290, y=250). Console.app still does not remember window size, nor position. Safari has a new bug where it does not remember window size for file uploads. This seems like an endemic thing with Apple, spreading to more and more apps and circumstances, making the OS ever more unpleasant. (Yeah, I filed bug reports a long time ago, repeatedly.)

With every update, settings are reset, like the stupid Photos app hijacking connected devices, or downloads being restricted to Apple's monetizing facilities. It's like having a helicopter mom watching over you, not trusting your own judgement. They even write protected /usr/local, locking up brew (they must know about brew at Apple, right?).

I agree with you about the size and position of windows. I’m still using Yosemite, and the Choose Attachment window in Mall will not remember its size any more; so frustrating.

Its slow,laggy and buggy as yosemite vista.

I'm actually astonished by the overall responsiveness of my base model rMB on El Capitan. Yosemite always felt a little sluggish and there was definitely some UI lag. That is completely gone now and Safari is lightning fast. It feels like a new machine. I've only encountered two real bugs thus far. I've been having a damn good time using it. Battery life seems slightly improved too.
