Spotlight used to be bad, but the issues were resolved long ago. It's fast and gives good results, and no longer freezes or consumes lots of CPU. In Yosemite you even have a bunch of NLP stuff, like typing "100 feet in meters" to perform calculations.

My problem with OS X in general is information leakage, there are logs and caches all over creation. Its not enough for me to disable indexing of a folder or filesystem; I am concerned spotlight will index leaked information. Admittedly osx is a poor choice for my work, openbsd would be better but i dont like neckbeardsbeither.
