    Ok so after about 20 minutes of use here is my informal review:

    The biggest change I've noticed is going from Helvetica to San Fransisco font. SF works well on the iDevices and retina screens. On my thunderbolt it has a weird feel to it.

    Split View is the only "game changer" but limited to full screen apps. Not a big deal unless you try to split any Adobe CC app. Thanks Adobe.

    Some changes to spotlight.

    Overall they supposedly did a lot of tweaks to make the OS faster, so this might benefit older mac's. I'll have to update my 2011 macbook once I get home.

    That's about it. I looked around the internet to see if I was missing anything and two sites opened with "you can right click a file/folder, there is now a rename option". (holds up two W's next to my mouth) "WOOOOOOOOOOW"

    And I guess that explains the name "El Capitan". It's not a big update in need of a location change, rather an incremental update to Yosemite.

    • The built-in Finder rename is from Yosemite, not El Capitan.

      El Capitan is considerably faster on a 2010 Mac Pro.

    • I'll see how it goes on my 2011 MacBook Pro - now there is supposedly TRIM support for 3rd party SSD disks - something I always had to fix with each OS update.face_melter
    • Hahaha @ right-click renaming is a new "feature".nb
    • Renaming has always been as easy as just regular clicking on the name. Or just pressing the Return key.monospaced
