#2Hey, Dashboard still exists.
I'm wondering why I never use it anymore. It was fun to play around with and design for, but nowadays I... well, I actually forgot the shortcut to open it.
Am I the only one?

#3I installed the GM build on my MacBook Pro, not sure if it's just psychological but apps definitely feel snappier than in Lion.
Got caught out with one old app that didn't have a developer id (for a 3g dongle) so had to disable the gatekeeper install it then I could reapply gatekeeper.
Otherwise it's been running great for the past few days.

I actually use it a few times a day to do simple things like calculations, conversion, weather forecast... then again I'm on a laptop with F4 as the Apple-set shortcut.

I still use it, mainly because it's very easy to hit the F4 key to pull it up. I only use it for quick look ups - I have a conversion widget, exchange rate widget & the odd time I need to use the calculator.

#6The "features" in that video are a joke.
Does anybody know if there are under the hood improvements in this version that would make upgrading worth the money?

Control-clicking an app and choosing "Open" whitelists it even when Gatekeeper is enabled.

I use it all the time for various widgets - weather, calendar, network usage etc. It is just as easy to swipe horizontally with four fingers.

I played with it for 10 minutes when it first came out and since then have either disabled or hidden it. It just seems to do stuff that most people I know leave browser tabs open for instead nowadays. The calculator is rubbish (and Cmd+Space, c, enter isn't hard), Google does better work at conversions and weather, etc..

Been using it on a fully loaded macbook air. Completely anecdotal but I think my boot times are faster. But my encryption seems slower. Safari is wayyy more stable and faster. Messages is integrated better and love Notifications!
Launchpad is way smoother imho.
