I mostly like the changes Apple has been making to OS X. I usually use Ubuntu but I keep an older MacBook Air around and enjoy kicking the tires on new releases.

One thing that I don't like is Apple Photos App. I have what I consider to be an ideal system for managing photos, and it is not Apple's app: I set my cellphone to wait until I am back home on wifi and then send new photos and videos to Google Photos, OneDrive, and Dropbox. I love having triple copies of everything.

I am downloading macOS Sierra right now on my old Mac and I hope they have some flexibility for disabling/uninstalling unwanted built-in apps. On 10.11.6 you can't delete Photos app.

UPDATE: I now have macOS Sierra installed. Seems fine enough and I enabled Siri on my laptop. I must say that Siri has some catching up to do with Google Now which answers my questions (usually) and does not just give a few web links like Siri does.

edit: I just tried more "calculation style" Siri queries that kicked in Wolfram Alpha, and those results are nice!
