It arguably gets worse with every OS X iteration. I understand why they removed postscript support, but it still makes me sad.

But it can still do a lot.

It's been screwed up since Lion I think, if that was the one where they played with the idea of "people don't have to save anymore", still decent but has some dumb bits of friction in the main flows from the mistakes of that idea.

The iOS version is straight up trash though if you're trying to work with multiple PDFs like bank statements on iOS.

My pet peeve is that every single time you click any web link in PDFs, you have to confirm via a dialog that you want to visit a link. You used to just be able to click links.

For me, it's about 30% of my pdfs just showing blank/white pages... when I drag them to a Firefox tab, they render perfectly. It's Preview, not the pdf that's the problem.

I’ve never seen that, I use Safari. My nit about PDFs is pages that download the PDF rather than view them within the browser.
