If you're going to criticize it, at least do so in a constructive way. In your list of 7, I see 2 real complaints.
1) Agreed, this can be annoying.
2) The buttons are visually smaller, but have the same target click area.
3) It behaves the same way it did before, so this isn't any worse.
4) The new scrolling takes a day or two to get used to, and then is better. If you really don't like it, there's an option to toggle it off. This isn't an issue.
5) Agreed, it is arguably slower and tends to drain the battery faster. It's also doing more. It sucks, but that's the price of progress.
6) As I see it, FireVault is a huge plus and not at all a drawback. Was there anything 'terrible' about the process other than that it was lengthy? And really, a one-time conversion cost for such a huge improvement to this feature was a problem for you?
7) This happens with practically every desktop OS upgrade ever and, as you mentioned, isn't a problem anymore.
So besides #1 and #5, are there other real complaints?
I'd personally add "really botched multi-touch gestures" to the list, but I'm genuinely curious if it's actually that much worse or people are just piling onto this rant.
