* >kills applications without having to go into detailed view*

For apps that are well & truly borked, the new app-driven interface often fails in this for me. But it does let me right-click and "go to details" and kill it there, so it's still an improvement.

Have you tried clicking the ‘End Task’ button twice? It’s arguably rather unintuitive, but in my experience the first click seems to send a ‘politely quit’ signal and the second results in the merciless massacre which hasn’t failed me yet.

Yep, sometimes after a few attempts a box will come up saying "this app is unresponsive" and it seems about even chance if that will end the task
