Well, Lewis, I have been using Macs since OS 4 and I have _never_ heard 
as many nor as loud complaints about a new OS as with 10.10. Some of the 
gripes are technical, but the din of grief about the interface is 
deafening. From what I've read and the pictures I seen, rightly so. One 
reason I'm still on 10.9. Sir Yawny is responsible for the unreadable 
gray-on-gray and the hidden/obscure mechanics. A triumph of form over 
function.

But you're saying you like the interface and are content to use it?
