Your comments remind me a bit of the Mac OS X early transition days. I think there’s some of that going on here, it’s a major transition and rewrite for us etc. so we will have to build back up to sync. (Reminders, I actually think will return soon.) And we have polish to do, including dialing back some of the fun but more experimentally tuned effects and animations etc.
But there’s a lot of new stuff, as of yesterday a first take on personalizable gesture actions. We don’t do a great job onboarding yet on all of this, planning a big pass closer to shipping when the new features are in and such.
