I like lots of things about Yosemite and how all the things will come together with iOS's new version.  BUT, I'm not enamored at all with the look and feel of it, no more than I am with iOS7.  Whoever thought the default system fonts should be that thin needs a remedial class in readability.  Not to mention the overuse of pale colors and then use shadings of tho
se pale colors to delineate between sections.  Pure idiocy imo.

The overall flatness isn't anything good either, but it isn't bad enough that I actually care.

I'll be switching back from the open Beta soon and will continue to run ML until the actual release of Yosemite.  IF some much needed look and feel changes are made in the actual release I will upgrade.  If not, I'll be deciding which OS I'll switch to.  Fortunately for me all of this is just toys to play with so it really isn't a big thing to change for the mos
t part.
