With the new Software Update for Catalina the App Store won't actually let you download the Catalina installer again, which is annoying.

Not in my experience.
I've opened the App Store, searched for Catalina and hit 'Get'.
It opens software update and asks me if I want to download Catalina. I said yes.
It's downloading the full 10.15.1 installer.
I've already done this twice with 10.15.0, the original install and then the supplemental update.
I'm using Catalina.

Weird, every time I tried I kept getting an error, yet just now it's letting me download it.
Same. I couldn't download it that way earlier, either. I ended up using Catalina Patcher to grab a copy from Apple's server. App Store just opened Software Update, which just span out then errored.
Very strange. I've downloaded the image four or five times now since release date with no problems.

How is everyone finding Catalina?
I have held off so far, but now that 10.15.1 is out I might upgrade, I like to wait for .1 or .2 before I update.

I will update on Saturday, I only use the iMac for light use such as browsing, checking emails and such.
On both my Macs, I got stuck in an iCloud authentication loop meaning I had to sign out of iCloud and back in again.

No issues here at all.
10.15.2 is out, Combo here.
10.15.3 is out, combo is here.
/edit - That link says it's for the 10.15.3 update but it seems to download 10.15.2

Thanks, updated and now running 10.15.3
You can get the non-combo one (Which I think is 10.15.2 to 10.15.3) here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2029?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Is this the problem where you have access to a Samba share and then for some reason it stops working and all you get is an icon showing in the window?
I have a routine I use when I update:
Reboot
Install Combo
Reboot
I won’t update without using a Combo as I just think it’s the safest way to do it. I’ve used this routine since I got my first Mac and apart from when Apple messed up one of the Combos a couple of years ago, I’ve not had any issues.
Yeah, but the more serious one (for me anyway, and several others) is leaving a machine to sleep connected to stuff over SMB. Often crashes when you wake it.
