Been on Mavericks for about a good week now. Was pretty much a painless move, the only problem I had was that at this moment After Effects CC is unsupported.
It's a real tangible performance boost though. Feels extremely snappy on my Retina Macbook Pro. Scrolling is faster and I went from 2,5 hours of battery life to 4,5 !
- kristofferR 13y agoI was just about to say the same thing - it's stunning how much faster/smoother it is. The new way Multi Display works is also much better than the old way, Full Screen Mode is actually really useful now.
- micro-ram 13y agoYou just can't span multiple monitors with a single window. I do like the improvements though. Moving the Dock to a different window by pulling the mouse below the bottom of the screen is taking some getting used to.

The first one, for me, was https://developer.apple.com/osx/whats-new/ https://developer.apple.com/osx/whats-new/, where the top item for "develop for OS X Mavericks" is "Energy Saving", not any of the new libraries whose coolness one can demo in a few minutes.
- tuananh 13y agoyou get only 2.5 hours on MBP Retina !?!?
- selectodude 13y agoApple increased the available video memory on the retina machines from 768MB to 1GB. The difference is profound. I was concerned about being stuck with nothing but an HD4000 but I'm very content with everything now.
