What is everyone's opinion of El Capitan? Is it "safe" yet to use on your primary Mac or will it be too much trouble? Thanks!
It's a beta, but I've found the experience since the 1st dev beta to be very good for Apple, and on this 4th beta I can't say I've experience any issues. I've been running the betas on a Late 2013 15" MBP, Late-2014 Mac mini, and Early-2015 12" MacBook. Also have iOS 9 on an iPhone 6 Plus and watchOS 2.0 in play. More issues with those than with El Cap, but even those aren't bad, and I'd say iOS 9 betas are midline to good if I were to take a guess on their iOS beta history.
Considerable battery drain and iPhone heating up on 5s since updating to PB2. Hopefully it's only temporary. I wonder if there's a way to downgrade to PB1...
So far I've only had a few consistent issues with the iOS 9 and El Capitan betas and I think some of them are "features" (or user error!).
On my iPad Air, every time I restart the Settings app is open in the background (even if I double check closing it before I shut down and restart). Also, when I open Mail, I get a blank screen with "No Message Selected" when I pull out the side bar it's totally blank. I put it back in, pull it back out and there's all my mail. Last, that freakin' Game Center. Used to be you could dismiss its request to log in 3 times and it would stay off until you updated your software. Now you have to do it four times and it resets as soon as you restart your iPad. I really don't like how they try to force Game Center down our throats.
With El Capitan on my 15" Late 2013 rMBP, the only issue I have is that Outlook for Mac crashes every single time I open it (even after installing an update from MS and the supplemental beta that was supposed to stop crashing of 32 bit applications). Other than that I LOVE El Capitan. I'm sure it will all get worked out. Just putting in my feedback when these things pop up.
I declined upgrading the Notes when it asked the first time on the iPad since I hadn't put the beta on the iPhone - anyone know if there is a way to do so now that I have both iOS devices on 9? It never asked again...

Those switches should trump everything else. I'd say you have both a very deep and very rare issue. I hope it works itself out.
Magically, when you posted that it came up with Slide To Upgrade after an hour of being on the Apple Logo. Thank you magical Solipsism!
LOL If only.

ios9Beta4 solved all the problems I had with last betas, I haven't encountered any glitch or bug or crash so far, works fine with the iPhone.
Fixed the "No Cell Coverage" battery drain in iOS 9, def a good thing.

Yes, internal error of game center here as well! How do I fix it?
