I'm holding off but many do till seeing the first service release or read up on on early adopter experiences.
In my case its due to the rather unusual dye sublimation printers I run being Japanese made where Macs are historically poorly supported. Checked last night and a beta driver is running that you have to sign up. So, enough for me to hang on to El Cap for a while.

No urgency, will wait a few weeks. As a previous early adopter I learned to regret it. Most issues are fixed in the .01 update.
Oh, and it's no longer OS X, it's Mac OS.

Thank you for your replies. I will do as you advise and hold back for the time being especially as all seems to work for me at present. Still very pleased with our iMac purchase.

Updated both the iMac and the MBP. Both working fine but startup time is slightly longer. Maybe something to do with the first desktop version of Siri. Other than that, all add-ons and peripherals work as expected.

PAXfips & ChickenHouse. I don't know what SSH is. Should I be concerned? I just hit the space bar to wake it up, use it, and put it back to sleep. I do shut down the iMac once a week or so as I think that's likely good practice.
My HD is the 1GB fusion drive, overall machine usage speed is ok for me now on El Capitan.
I'm intrigued by the prospect of 'Siri', I gather that's voice control or interfacing or some such.
I'm not convinced I need any of it, but if I chat to Apple support as I do occasionally they may not want to deal with me if my iMac is not running the latest suggested software, and I do find the Apple support chatline superb.

Working well here on a 2009+ iMac with 1Tb HD and 8G RAM.
The only slight gripe is that it takes a while (30 secs!) to re-establish the wifi connection after waking from sleep.
