My idea of computer is that its a content creating device unlike tablets and smatphones are just content consuming devices. And hence a much more reliabity of things is needed on a Laptop/Desktop than anything else.
Apple has inbuilt a reminder mechanism on Mac for updates and Yosemite upgrade has been popping up for months - I don't like disrupting already working flows and hence had defered any upgrades.
Since Yosemite finally moved to a stable 10.10.3 version now - I wanted to take a look if its good idea to move to Yosemite.
For starters the human interaction part of any computer is important for seemlessness - this includes display. Now a non starter for me was Helvetica Neue font in Yosemite - though this might have been taken as measure have consistency with iOS - but going back to definition iOS and OSX device have different ways to be used - different sizes these device come in.
Looks various user are already outpouring on this --

Further github now has a way to change the default font to Lucida Grande (which has been default for all OS versions by Apple till now):

But then again why to upgrade to OS which doesn't provide anything extra that really adds/helps to my flows/work. This is just the first one issue I see as non starter - But forums are full of thread on new Photos app - again added to have consistency with iOS is also a step back in terms of functionality of iPhoto.

Yet to explore what more could be wrong with Apple's new OS Yosemite. But I might remain on OSX 10.9.x for sometime more till there are security updates for this 1.5 year old OS.
