I have installed this today on my iMac and all is good. Didn't take too long and no issues experienced. Its a large download over 4 Gigabytes. What has others experienced?

Installed on MBP 2016 with touch bar and no issues so far.
Has anyone seen a list of removed features anywhere? The ones I'm aware of are:
There are probably others!
[Edit: List updated]
All OK here on 2017 MacBook Pro - except the Photos app acts differently from before and there doesn't seem to be any explanations anywhere - 'Help' not updated to cover the non-intuitive UI changes I'm seeing (specifically in the People album/function).
Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
Does this article help at all? I'm not on HS myself so I'm not sure how useful it is, I just saw the article earlier today.
Installed on my 2011 MBP and my 2017 iMac.
Things like
TechtoolPro , Drive Genius, Data Rescue, etc all need updates for APFS.
DiskWarrior 5 is OK but won't recognise APFS disks
CarbonCopy Cloner 5 is already compatible.
Office 2016 needs all its updates installed
Adruino App seems to be OK
DipTrace is OK (version 3).
Calibre 3.8 seems OK
Firefox 55.0.3 had 3 processes that I had to forced quit they were all taking 68% of CPU time
1Password and CyberDuck did not want to self update, this may be a gatekeeper issue.
Siri works ok, tried "open network utility" and away it went, worked well.

This is worth reading prior to upgrading:

Has anybody installed it on an iMac with Fusion Drive??
NOTE: At present fusion drives are not converted to the new file system APFS but will in a future update.
iMac 27" [14.2] (late 2013), Airport Time Capsule 5th gen, iPhone13 x 2, iPad6, iPad Mini5, Spark Smart Modem 1st Gen
Panasonic TV Viera TH-L50E6Z (1080p), Panasonic Blu-ray PVR DMR-BWT835, Yamaha AVR RX-V1085 [6.1 Surround Speaker System], Apple TV 4k 64Gb (2nd gen)
Kia Sportage Urban EX (2019), Suzuki Swift SR7 (2011)
The difficult we can do immediately. The impossible takes a bit longer. But Miracles you will have to wait for.

My understanding is that you should not install if you have a Fusion Drive. Support is coming (as above) but Apple say to wait for now.

Yes, with zero problems.
The thing about it not working with Fusion drives is a little misleading.
The ONLY issues with Fusion drives is that the new disk format APFS has compatibility issues, so it will not automatically upgrade the filesystem on install.
There will be a fix for this in a later update.
This is also true for ordinary Hard Drives.
Working fine on my 2017 iMac with Fusion drive

Yeh I am due to upgrade soon, maybe in the next few days.
My workmate upgraded his mac and said he noticed some performance improvements.
if you folks want to throw the latest OS on an unsupported mac this http://dosdude1.com/highsierra/ provides an easy way to go about that, tried it myself seems to work pretty straight forward.
Installed ok on my 2013 iMac..
But disappointed that we don't have APFS available yet..
