Review from the App Store:
After weeping uncontrollably in front of my fresh yet somehow familiar Macintosh computer, my daughter entered the room with her Barbies and inquired of me the explanation for this unmitigated display of emotion. I turned to her, shaking, tears streaming from my eyes; I could barely see her through the watery haze. I reached out for her, hardly able to utter coherent words; short gasps for air were the only noise emanating from my oral orifice as I pulled my daughter in close for a tight, loving embrace. Finally, at long last, the greatest Macintosh update ever conceived by mankind had been created, and it was released to the public absolutely free. My mind raced with bewilderment as I wondered how on earth the magnanimous Apple could pay their dear employees for their groundbreaking work on this magnificent update, if it was entirely free. Where was the catch? Surely this gift was too lofty for me to claim; I knew I did not deserve this beautiful blessing, yet the god-like masters of love and generosity at Apple had deemed it right to bequeath this gift unto me. Holding my daughter close, I peered up at my ceiling, staring past it into the sky, a vision of angels bearing the Apple emblem gathering before me. Through a burst of snot and tears, I cried with all of my internal being: “YOSEMITE ELEVATES THE EXPERIENCE OF USING A MAC, WHILE MAINTAINING THE POWER AND SIPMLICITY I KNOW AND LOVE.”
I'm downloading it now.

I'm really liking it. Took a few hours to get used to, but I like Apple's take on "flat design" much more than Microsoft's. The only annoyance visually are apps and icons that clash in appearance because they were designed for the old style.

C'mon people that's what we have this thing called "beta" for. Even when I tried yosemite beta on my beater machine a couple of months ago it was stable aside from my wacom driver not working on it.
Now that I have the official on my work comp the only thing that stands out is with the dark menubar, one of my third party icons isn't white and that's because the vendor hasn't updated their icon yet. Hardly a showstopper.
When did we become such pussys?

I've been running it for 24 hours; a few rough transitions including iCloud Drive-related stuff, but now things seem fine.
The "dark mode" lacks full impact because of third party support for menu bar icons, Full iOS8 integration is lacklustre of course, etc.
Pretty tight for an initial "public" release; I like where it's headed...
...It's MUCH more tolerable/stable than the initial iOS7 beta I played around with when it was first released (I had to delete it as I couldn't stand it).
