Oct 02, 2015 Basically, OS X El Capitan in its first form is a better release than OS X Yosemite was. Justifying the update from OS X Mavericks or prior is more challenging, since users have probably opted to stay with OS X Mavericks or an earlier OS X release for a particular reason, and whether or not that is addressed in OS X El Capitan will vary per. OS X 10.11.2 (El Capitan) and later Stability improvements. IMovie 10.1.5 April 13, 2017 Bundled with all new Macs and free from the Mac App Store since April 18, 2017: OS X 10.11.2 (El Capitan) and later. Fixes an issue which could add a red tint to video imported from some camcorders. Apple has released an update of iMovie for iOS devices that can edit 4K video, which the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus can record. However, iMovie for OS X El Capitan hasn't received a similar upgrade. Also, what's (not) up with all of Apple's iWork apps? Sure, it's nice to be able to edit 4K videos on the iPhone and iPad.
El Capitan (aka Mac OS X version 10.11) came out last week, but I’ve been working on OS X El Capitan For Dummies all summer, so I’ve been using it daily for months. I upgraded both of my Macs to the release version last week and I’m happy to report that both upgrades were as smooth as silk; in less than an hour I had both machines back at work without a single hiccup.
Which was a refreshing change from previous OS X releases, at least for me. Since I rely on more applications and utilities than most people, and operating system updates are notorious for breaking apps and utilities, I’m tickled that El Capitan is the first OS X release in recent memory that didn’t break at least one app or utility I can’t live without.
To be fair, it broke Default Folder X, a utility I like a lot… But I can live without it until a compatible version arrives (which will be, “as soon as possible,” according to the developer).
But.. while my upgrade went smoothly, yours may not. So before I say another word about El Capitan, here’s my advice (which is the same advice I give you every year): You might want to wait for the inevitable point release (i.e. version 10.11.01), just in case. I have not heard of any major issues with the first release, but if history has shown us anything, it's that:
- El Capitan version 10.11.01 will be along RealSoonNow™.
and
- El Capitan version 10.11.01 will squash at least a few bugs.
Moving right along, when you do decide to upgrade, you should first make two complete backups of your boot disk. Next, test the disks before you upgrade, just in case. Finally, remember to leave plenty of time for troubleshooting, (say it with me), just in case.
Now, here are a few things you’re going to love about El Capitan when you install it:
As you know, El Capitan eschews flashy new features. Sure it’s got a new Split View, improved Spotlight searching, an overhauled Notes application, pinned tabs in Safari, and gestures in Mail, to name just a few.
Dec 26, 2017 I'm using my Mac to take a big test in March and I don't want to take HUGE risks (a little risk is probably OK), but I'm concerned about whether my Mac is just too old to take the update. I've checked out some websites but the best answer seems to be to check with the community. If your Mac is too old to install macOS Mojave, you can still upgrade to the latest version of macOS that is compatible with it, even if you can't find those versions of macOS in the Mac App Store. Apple has pages for High Sierra, Sierra and El Capitan than include links directly to the hidden Mac App Store pages with those downloads. 
But since most of El Capitan’s improvements are under the hood, the big news is that El Capitan makes your Mac feels zippier overall, with many apps launching faster and feeling snappier. And the big surprise, at least for me, is that El Capitan has been more stable on both Macs so far than Yosemite ever was. I’ve yet to endure a single application or system crash, nor have I been forced to Force Quit an app yet. That’s impressive, especially for a point-zero release.
And frankly, most of the visible new features don't do much for me personally. I have a 24-inch display connected to my MacBook Pro; with that much screen real estate, I don’t have much use for full-screen or split-screen modes, or Mission Control for that matter. The only time I use either is when I travel without my big screen, so while both Full/Split-screen and Mission Control are improved in El Capitan, they still don’t float my boat. As before, I don't expect I'll use them much unless I'm on the road.
Spotlight searches, on the other hand, I use all the time and I love that natural language queries work (sometimes). But the best new Spotlight feature for me is that the Spotlight window is (finally) movable and resizable. What can I say? I have simple needs and a moveable and resizable Spotlight window was among them..
OK, now for the big reveal: My very favorite new feature in El Capitan is the new “find your cursor” gesture. I’ve always used third-party utilities like Mouse Locator or Mouseposé to find my cursor in the million-plus-pixel mess on my displays. With El Capitan, however, I merely wiggle my mouse (or my finger on the trackpad) and the cursor enlarges so I can easily find it on my screens. That’s progress (and one less utility I have to run in the background).

OS X El Capitan was previewed for the first time at WWDC 2015 on June 8. Version number OS X 10.11 and codenamed Gala, El Capitan was released on September 30, 2015.

The real-world El Capitan is a geological feature of Yosemite National Park, so it makes sense that OS X El Capitan builds on the foundation Apple laid for OS X Yosemite, as well. It doesn't have a dramatic rework of the user interface like Yosemite did. Instead, Apple's made numerous refinements and improvements to workflow, performance and efficiency to make the Mac faster and easier to use than ever.
Enhancements in El Capitan include a new split-view for apps to make it easier to switch between two apps at once. An improved Mission Control makes it much easier to switch between open apps, and there's a handy way to find your mouse pointer on big Retina display screens simply by shaking it to make it grow. Spotlight now responds to natural language commands. Mail gains new data detectors to make it easier to take action on information people are sending you, an updated Notes app lets you drag clippings in from apps like Safari, Maps, Photos, Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Photos adds editing extensions to make it easier to do more with your images without having to leave the app. Safari adds the ability to mute noisy web pages, pin frequently visited sites for easy visiting, and better performance and efficiency than ever. Maps finally gets support for public transit systems. Metal for OS X promises dramatically improved graphics performance, not just for games but for any app that leverages OpenGL. A host of other performance and security enhancements rounds out El Capitan's offerings. What's more, if your Mac can run Yosemite, it'll be able to run El Capitan too — and just like Yosemite, El Capitan will be absolutely free.
