I was ok with iTunes until 11.0 and beyond.

The interface became unintuitive and far too busy.

I was able to change Songs back to the traditional list view, but otherwise searching any other category and scrolling are, for my intents and purposes, is broken.

One minute iTunes is saying you have 352 podcasts that you didn't authorize, then an hour later, 3 then 100. For the past couple of weeks. It's annoying how Mavericks wants to install updates with no information what it's trying to update. Just do it now? An hour from now? Or later? I always have to launch the App Store to get the skinny. It's like they're trying to force you to do the updates.

I hope you guys heard about how iTunes 11.2 had a "bug" where if Find My Mac was enabled it would hide the /Users folder and subfolders, including /Users/Shared?

I try to avoid iTunes upgrades - hell, I tend to avoid Apple updates in general these days unless they have a compelling security fix - as they usually lose features and break things that worked fine.
