The only one that I recall was putting the 'close window' icon on the far right side of the title bar. I inadvertently closed a lot of windows before I got used to that. Eventually it seemed natural.

On the other hand, I have never gotten used to Apple's document-centric user interface, despite having used OS X at work for years now. So it seems that not all user interface indiscretions are healed by time.

They've left the windows menu on the left side of the titlebar, though. So it's not a regression per se, but a somewhat confusing new functionality.
