Yosemite rubbish for anyone else?

I've had a fair few problems since my Mac upgraded to Yosemite:

iTunes crashing/not starting/not playing/reminds me of iTunes of old
Wifi dropping out on the Mac only
Can't wake up Apple TV via airplay anymore
Airplay playback stuttering
Synology Diskstation dropping off finder
Caffeine not running properly
Not waking up from sleep

To name a few. For me, it's been a pretty rubbish upgrade, Maveriks has been better in most ways I use my Mac.

Anyone else had similar? Would a fresh install cure any of this?

I've tried dark mode and it still looks bland.

Tempted to go back to Mavericks.

Caffeine should get an update but a good alternative that is definitely Yosemite compatible is KeepingYouAwake. Same functionality.

Got a link?

Thanks. Wasn't prominent in my first search on google, found it shortly after.

Yeah it isn't great.

Would a fresh install then restore docs/settings from TM work?

How can I go back and keep my files and settings?

Time Machine has the option to let you pick what to restore.

Thanks. I may 'downgrade' later on today.

Anyone getting issues with scrolling in pdf files? It becomes very jerky especially in larger pdfs within preview.

Everything also just generally feels sluggish to me compared to Mavericks.

Yes I've noticed PDF files are rubbish and the fan goes mental in Lightrooms when it didn't use to.
