I reluctantly upgraded to Mavericks, initially over fears about my old Adobe CS4 functionality stopping to work. Thankfully, it didn't, but I'm so annoyed by the change in functionality to both Preview and TextEdit as a result of the removal of the "Save as..." command. I can't imagine what anyone thought could be the advantage to removing this most basic of all commands. How else does one change the name of a file? The "re-name" command does not work. How else does one change the file format? I invented a workaround, but it involves four or five steps instead of one! How absurd that complicated workarounds are needed for something that used to be so simple...
Also it's annoying that .psd was removed from the available file formats in Preview, now the only lossless format is .tiff [annoying, especially, since it should properly be .tif].

Sorry to have wasted your time.
