I’ve read a lot of online reviews simply condemning Yosemite. They were older reviews and comments, so maybe the bugs are worked out. It is good to here that you are not having problems with it. There was a lot of initial criticism right down to the new Photo management replacing iPhoto.
Still have Rootpipe vulnerability as far as I know.
I have heard it loads notoriously slowly compared to Mavericks.
A lot of people don’t like the new user interface, don’t like the transparency. Some people don’t like the iOS look to all the controls, a step backward from Mavericks.
I’ve read some critics saying it freezes up regularly and they have to reboot their imac. I NEVER reboot my iMac. Once in a blue moon and it is usually due to some external software hanging up my internet. Usually forced close works in those cases.
It sounds like it is just not as polished as Mavericks. I am very happy with Mavericks, so the avalanche of criticism toward Yosemite makes me nervous.
I have heard it has gone back to smaller fonts you can’t enlarge. Maybe that is baseless, but those kinds of complaints make me hesitant to even try Yosemite.
It goes on from there. iOS is for CPUs that have that limitation. It is wrong of Apple to try to impose iOS on a personal computer that has the power and speed to run something better. I realize Yosemite is not iOS per se, but I don’t want my user interface to take a step backward and looking like a cell phone when there is no need for it with the speed and power of my iMac.
I will keep an ear to the ground but for now, I am afraid to jump to Yosemite.
Rootpipe was fixed for OS X.10 but it also affected all Macs back to OS X.8. . . and Apple did not fix it for the older versions. A newer version of the Rootpipe was supposedly found by a hacker, but all versions require physical possession of the computer to do anything with them. If you have physical possession there are far easier ways to compromise the computers than a root pipe.
Slowly compared to Mavericks? Not that i've noticed. . . but then what is slow on an SSD? Ten seconds to usable screen. . .
Transparencies can be turned off if you don't like it. I kind of like it.
I haven't noticed anything that looks iOS like at all in the controls. . . It looks like OS X.
i have never had to reboot my MacBook Air or my iMac which has been running OS X.10 Yosemite for quite some time even on the beta. I don't know what their problems are. . . but I'm not experiencing them.
Avalanche? 58% of Mac users are on OS X Yosemite now. . . and there are few thousand complaints. That is not an avalanche of complaints. 55 million to a few thousand. I'll go to with the 55 million without problems.

Sounds like FUD to me. . .

There is nothing iOS like about OS X Yosemite. Not at all.
