Another (much more) common issue which seems to be related to Mavericks is the Finder problem where clicking Finder results a sudden hang of the system a the spinning colour wheel.

I'm fairly new to Apple products (~2 years ago) this is the worst problem so far but I'm surprised at such little feedback from Apple on it.

Not Mavericks-specific, but Finder is notorious for hanging when mounted volumes become unavailable or unreliable. And it's certainly possible that some of the network filesystem changes in Mavericks — in particular, it now uses SMB in certain cases where previous versions would have defaulted to AFP — could lead to this behavior in situations where you didn't see it before.
