No compatible XCode release yet, it seems. Holding off since I can't afford being unproductive at the moment.

You're okay, actually: I've been using the GM for a while and Xcode 4.5 DP3 is pretty good. It's available on the iOS developer portal if you have access. There's a GM of 4.4 in the Mac developer portal too (should be the same build as the final). Both of these are for Mountain Lion.

I saw 4.4 final apparently is out now. The problem with the DP versions are that you can't submit to the appstore with them.

Also, I think I saw something about 4.4+ no longer supporting armv6, which is a dealbreaker for the few apps I'm still maintaining that needs to be compatible with iPhone 3G. :(

If you log in to developer.apple.com and click on the Mac Dev Center there's a button that says 4.4 in the App Store. Wasn't there yet but if you click on the View all downloads link in the section just below the dmg is available there for download. This is without the paid developer account.

AirPlay won't work unless you have a 2011 or 2012 Mac. This is highly disappointing.

You might want to check out AirParrot (http://airparrot.com/). I haven't used it myself, but it seems like it might give you the functionality you are looking for.

I still can't believe the 'skeuomorphic' interfaces for Calendar and Reminders made it into the final version of Mountain Lion.

These apps are often in the corner of the screen while working with different applications; they should be minimal and not full of harsh textures and deep bevels. Also, they're just plain ugly.

Here's a screenshot for those not familiar: http://f.cl.ly/items/3R0I3X2Y041b091l0j1w/Screen%20Shot%2020...

#1 question I want answered: Does it support TRIM for 3rd party SSD drives without repeatedly doing a command line hack?

No, but if you use Trim Enabler( http://www.groths.org/?page_id=322 ) 'command line hack' turns into simple slide to enable.

After I used that on Mountain Lion (GM) and a Crucial M4, my MBP often froze during boot. Disabled TRIM again with Trim enabled and booting problem was solved.

This is what I'm waiting for. C++ lambdas and the new Obj-C literals are way bigger quality of life improvements for me than anything in the OS.

No. Also, your SSD probably does garbage collection without the need for TRIM.

FWIW, when I upgraded to ML, my boot time was cut down from 20 seconds to 5. Awesome.
