Hello, everyone, I want a professional, personal, and meaningful review of OS X Yosemite's new design/UI and the new features. Thank you!

The question is irrelevant now that Mavericks is no longer available for download.
If you already have Mavericks and are thinking of moving to Yosemite, then a consideration is the improved memory management in Yosemite. The memory management algorithm is significantly better as witnessed by comparing the Memory Pressure reported by the Activity Monitor. On my MacBook Pro the Memory Pressure is down to two-thirds of that with Mavericks. So, there is more available memory for applications.
if you do not already have Mavericks you will not be able to download that Mac OS X version. If you do have it, before downloading Yosemite make a complete backup of your system so you have a path to go back if you do not like Yosemite.

You can download Mavericks in the App Store. Go to Purchased and it should be there if you installed it through the App Store.
