InDesign CS6 to CC 2014 - upgrade surprises?

Question

I was considering making the jump from CS6 to CC -- has anyone else made this upgrade? Did it really carry over your settings? Are there any major differences or learning curves that surprised you? How's the speed difference, especially navigating large documents or outputting PDFs? (using the latest retina MBP)  I mainly use it for ad design and publications. I don't mind paying the yearly fee if the upgrade is worth it. But I hate to leave behind the last perpetual license and start renting software. Thanks for your advice.

I disagree, I see a lot of additional value in CC2014 over CS6 when it comes to the new footnote behavior (text wrapping), organizing colors in the same way as styles, improved tables.
Don’t forget the increased numbers of dictionaries included (ok, you could add languages since CS6).
Since the cloud you can also add languages of other versions as this will add functionality and menu items for ME or Asian languages in your primary version too. E.g. I have sometimes to print material with Hebrew or Arabic parts. (I don’t understand these idiomas, but I get text delivered from native speakers.) In the past I had to pay for specific plugins, to get this work, now I can do it without additional cost.
And there is a lot more of additional functionality with CC2014 I would really miss. But the new path with Illustrator and InDesign is now more improving the quality easier work less the flashy effects which are easy for the marketing team to talk about but often useless for power users.
