    This is not a thread meant to bash SL or anything, but a place to see if your problem is actually a bug. Perhaps someone would go out of their way and report such bugs to Apple : )

    So one of the first thing I notice was that if I delete an item from my stack (drag from stack to trash) the item doesn't get the put back option in the Trash. Have this happened to you guys?

    I never noticed the option before. Maybe because when I put something in the trash it it because I'm deleting it. ;) I tried it out and while there was no visable "put back" option I could simply drag the icon back into my stack instead.

    Yeah it's the "new" feature that they put back in SL. Sometime some file are hidden deep in several folders and you accidentally deleted it, so that option is a convenient.

    Though you probably have a point that the stack is always right on the dock (unless you removed it after the file deletion for some reason) so you can just drag it back there instead of using that option. Maybe they left it that way on purpose :x

    Spotlight froze on me once. Also the stability of some 3rd party apps seem to have gone down a bit.

    This is not a bug but a new feature that I'm not liking so far: Expose now includes minimized windows and aligns all windows to the same size along a grid. I'm not so sure that I prefer this arrangement because minimized windows are inactive for a reason. Also, smaller active windows take up the same amount of grid space as much large windows, and there is blue fill-in for the smaller windows. I find this very strange.

    Safari has frozen on me a few times, though it hasn't actually crashed.

    Aside from these "issues," everything else is stable and faster, including Firefox, Flip4Mac beta, VLC, Unison, MacRar, etc.
