DO NOT UPGRADE TO YOSEMITE ON YOUR MAC COMPUTER

It has proven to be an unmitigated disaster since I did so two weeks ago. Power Point has stopped working properly in the midst of lecture prep. This after two weeks of working though not quite as fast.
Yosemite = You're dead meat.

I have Yosemite on my iMac and it works beautifully. It is fast, simple and effective. You must have done something wrong. My version is 10.10.2.

Not everything is compatible, if there is something you need. I've just started shooting video so sound tools are needed too.

There are updates due in February that should fix some problematic software.

There are a few 'fixes' suggested here. It seems some mac's are fine with office 2011 and yosemite, some not.
I was going to suggest libreoffice as a stand in but it crashes too :(

Could depend on which MAC you are running.

Yeah right... I have been running Yosemite since it came out... currently I sit at 10.10.2
ZERO issues, ZERO problems.... so much for that ;)
Runs plenty fast on my IMAC.... every upgrade on the Imac has been easy, fast and without problems, don't know why you got screwed up, but I suspect you are wrong for blasting Yosemite.
Edit:
Actually, am running Yosemite on 2 Mac Mini's, 2 Imacs, 3 Macbook AIRS.... piece of cake to install and operate. NO problems.
Run LibreOffice on all but 1 IMAC, that has MS Office 2011.
Lightroom and Photoshop CC on my Imac, no issues.
Very happy with performance.

I've had lots of issues since updating. PowerPoint locking up repeatedly and and not saving recovery files when it does. All three of my Macs are operating at about half speed compared to pre-update...and it gets noticeably slower with each new program opened. Efficient simultaneous processing is impossible. Even shut down and start up are slow, SLOW,
SSSSSSLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOWWWWW. And my wife has had no end of problems with changes being made to her GMAIL access that she hasn't made. There are some things I like about Yosemite, but the move has not been positive overall.

Me, too. Only issue was dropping wifi, and that's been fixed.
