Also loving it. And thanks for starting this - really getting tiresome seeing all the threads after each update of OSX/iOS calling for a return to the stone age...
Operating system, OS X Yosemite
I would I like to as you all a question. I have Marwick on my MacBookPro and it works great. Now my question is the Yosemite and update version of Marwick? I knew to Mac and I don't understand if this an update of the operation system or not. Also my brother-in-law has the Lion on his computer and neither one of us know. Can someone please explain and I'm sorry to post here. but I don't know where to post a New Thread. I'm sorry.
Thank you for who ever can explain this too me.

Exactly. It's nice to see some positive light about Yosemite after much bashing and nitpicking. I think they really paid attention to the users feedback as I think it's a pretty solid release. It's not a perfect OS of course but as a first release 10.10.0 is decent.

Someone replied to my question but I cannot find the reply.
I was asking if OS X Yosemite was an update to the operation System Marwick System.
Thanks,
Tom

Somehow, Yosemite makes my 2012 MacBook Air seem more "hi-res." I like it. Especially, dark mode. 
Agreed! I too love it. The more we learn, the more upgrades we will have. Apple is doing us a service in bringing us the latest technology as frequently as it becomes viable to do so. A few bugs are to be expected: better that than to remain in the stone age until everything is perfect.
Used Yosemite in early beta stages. Didn't work out with some important apps i have, so i reverted back to mavericks, and boy did it feel old! Safari alone is a reason to love the new looks.
And I prefer that iOS and OSX speaks the same design language. Never felt at home with iOS 7 until i saw what Yosemite was going to look like.
Great experience overall!
And hey, Alt + Green traffic light brings back the old maximise. If any one missed that feature.

BeOS on Mac hardware was an exceptionally classy experience. In retrospect I like to think of it as way ahead of its time.
There's so much to love about Yosemite. The vast majority of it is refined and simply gorgeous. If I could ignore the one aspect that's a showstopper for me, I would. But I enjoy Apple at its best, and ignorance of a problem is counterproductive. The best thing for a problem is to understand and if possible, address it
I appreciate Apple's intention, but can not accept the parts that are built upon a ridiculously twisted foundation. There's a long history of very high esteem for Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. For the 2014-10-16 edition to include technicially ridiculous guidance is somewhat shameful.
If Apple will correct those parts of the guidelines and make appropriate changes to the parts of apps that are regressive (or simply troublesome) as a result of that recent twisting then I'll be a very happy customer. In all truth, I'll never regain the confidence in Apple that has suffered as a result of the approach to developing Yosemite, but I will be very happy and there'll be an end to so much noise from me.
A disklike for parts of 10.10 is not a call for a return to the stone age.
Hey, it could get "really tiresome seeing all the" dismissive exaggerations from people who disagree. An already frustrated person, or a group of already frustrated people, could feel somewhat "bashed" by exaggerated dismissal of detailed concerns, some of which have strong evidence as backup. If you want to bash Mavericks or a stone age graphical user interface to a computer, if you can find one ;-) go ahead. And if possible, make it something that's not already written in this topic. But please, refrain from bashing people. It rarely has the desired outcome.
Personally: I don't feel bashed, I prefer to keep a sense of humour

Been using Yosemite all weekend on my personal Macbook Air, come into work this morning back to Mavericks 10.9 on my work machine , and if it was not for the Handoff/Continuty feature i would be going back to 10.8 or 10.9 on my Macbook Air, really bought home how beautiful the glossy 3D Dock is, and infact thats what drew my to get a Mac in the first place, and now the shiny has gone
after having run the public beta on my 2011 mbp, i installed the release on my 2013 rmbp, and the retina screen makes a big difference in visual appeal. i went from a decided "meh" to being somewhat impressed. linework and typography read much better on a high resolution display.
this is coming from someone was and still is not in love with the iOS reskin. i feel like yosemite strikes a much better balance overall. except of course the safari and finder icons...

So far I love it
My old iMac from 2009 seems new to me.
Usually an updated OS does that to your computer. But it is more profound this time around. I really love the clean look of it.
And love how my computer seems more responsive.
I really don't understand why people don't like it.

Diverse use cases
The simplest explanation for someone (not necessarily Fuksikarma) not understanding may be, simply: different use cases.
For what it's worth, my use cases are sometimes extremely unusual and mid/high-tech. Other times I'm just browsing the web like anyone else. Facebook occasionally and so on. The 'high' side of it doesn't imply that my use cases are any more important than other people's use cases; I have no idea what combination of things is taken into account by Apple when it creates or improves software to suit the expectations of customers.
Whilst I don't expect my extremes to be taken into account by Apple, I do believe that the company has misjudged a few things with (at least) the development and initial release of OS X 10.10.

Even though Yosemite still has some bugs to work out, I think it is the most versatile OS that Apple has offered thus far. I like it.
You are right, grahamerrin. I'm what you would consider a light user. That, however, doesn't take anything away of me thinking that the OS is really beautiful, and for my usage works better than Mavericks.
The 'funny' part is that I normally has a dislike towards colors that are to bright - i prefer the more 'earthy' colors. At least my wardrobe tells me so.
Just out of curiosity, could you elaborate on some of the misjudgements that Apple has made with Yosemite?
