You know... I honestly didn't like it at first, at all, but I'm actually growing to not mind it at all.

There are definitely some qwerks, but they're more just incredibly annoying than anything. For example, in Safari, or for that mind, most html areas, if you try to type a capital letter, or any other key which includes the shift key, you'll hear Voiceover say New Line Selected. This is really really annoying! Yes, it'll even do it if your key echo is set to off. Trust me, it drives me bonkers! For the longest of time, I wouldn't even use the mac, as I did a lot of web browsing, and found that to be really annoying. OK, you could use Google Chrome, which doesn't have that issue, but I don't really care for Chrome's interface. Not totally sure why not, I just don't for some strange reason.

There also are some focus issues when using single arrow key navigation in Safari, which was introduced in Yosemite. Again though, there are fairly easy work arounds, from what I've been told. I've never tested them, but I do trust the sources who have told me about them.

So, over all, I'd say you should be just fine. I do agree that Yosemite seems to be a little more clunky in my personal opinion, but that said, it's definitely definitely doable.

Chris.

Subject: [Mac-access]: Should I be scared of Yosemite?



Dear listers.
I am thinking of buying a new mac mini. My old one currently runs Mountain Lion. I am used to the software, but the machine is starting to die. Buying a new one means I have to go to Yosemite. Can I have some opinions on the learning curve and relative benefits, please.

Grateful
Ian
