Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
The Disk Utility App in El Capitan is practically useless. It is less user friendly and less functional. It is a major step back from previous versions of Disk Utility in OS X.

Steps to Reproduce:
Example:
1. Attach a disk with an encrypted JHFS+ filesystem
* Close the auto-prompt for password if asked
2. Open Disk Utility and try to mount the encrypted volume

Expected Results:
I expect it to be easy to mount this volume. The "unlock" function should be in the toolbar by default when applicable. I expect there to be a right-click context menu to allow the appropriate actions when I right-click on a drive or volume.

Actual Results:
The application is pure useless. I might as well throw OS X UI away and do everything from the command line from the start.

Version:
10.11 (15A284)
