Since I'm having a stichomythia with Lewis about the usability of 10.10 
and he tends to be a terse in his explanations, perhaps you'd care to 
expound on your use of 10.10. You don't have the gripes with the various 
interface items that so many others do? The gray-on-gray and hidden 
interface items would seem to be a genuine PITA. I've stayed on 10.9 
because those complaints are so numerous and so loud.
