I'm a fairly experienced user (since 1988) and I'm used to doing lots of customization, but I've not noticed anything annoying so far. What has been very impressive is that things just work. On previous major upgrades (18 > 19 > 20) a lot of the customization (and the added .el files) would stumble and fall. Not this time. Among all the new features, the new shell (eshell) is especially nice. Jim
