The editors didn't like

  • Generally faster performance, Split-screen multitasking, Transit directions in Maps, Safari gets pinned tabs and an easy way to mute noisy tabs, Useful tweaks to other built-in apps, likeMail and Notes
  • The addition of built-in transit directions means HopStop is shutting down, Not as feature-rich an update as other OS X releases
  • OS X El Capitan feels like a modest update after last year's Yosemite release, which ushered in a flat, new design and tighter integration with iOS. If you enjoyed what Yosemite had to offer, you'll appreciate the tweaks here, however minor they may seem...

  • Abstract:  Apple's new Macintosh operating system, OS X 10.11 "El Capitan," is named after a prominent rock formation in Yosemite National Park. That's fitting because the new OS is designed with rock-solid stability in mind. El Capitan is the 12th iteration of the...

  • Fast and responsive the new release remains as easy-to-use as any previous OS X upgrade, so I'm looking forward to installing it on all my Macs. I think El Capitan is a significant release that will enable Apple to add further refinements to its OS in the...

  • Abstract:  If it weren't for the crumbs lodged in my keyboard, you could easily mistake my laptop for a brand new one. It no longer limps along like a three-legged turtle. In fact, with new multitasking and search tricks, it feels like it's got rabbit in its blood.N...

  • I've found El Capitan to be a stable update, but you should always back up your system and check with the makers of your most important apps about compatibility before installing it. A saner Mission Control We all use our Macs in different ways—an...
