The editors liked
Despite its somewhat clunky implementation
Split View is a welcome

The editors didn't like
Despite its utility
Split View feels cumbersome compared to Microsoft's implementation in Windows. Anyone that has used Snap on Windows 7
8 or 10 is likely familiar with the simple click-and-drag gesture used to invoke it
And Apple would have done well
Spotlight not as good as Siri
Split View is fiddly
Performance increase is minor
Clumsy Split View controls
Modest app updates
No blockbuster new features
Some performance issues
Directions limited to London
Split screen functionality isn't that useful
Not convinced by split-screen
Some minor bugs
Where's Siri
Some features remain buggy and unreliable four months on

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...
