A comment on MacOS Sierra.

Is there anything noteworthy under the hood that would compel power users to upgrade? None of the features listed on Apple.com look like things that would be useful from my perspective.

I'm sure there are plenty of new insane defaults with obscure configurations to disable on which to test their powers.

Ars Technica has written a detailed review [0], there's some things on the networking side related to IPv6 and ECN, but that's pretty much it. APFS preview is interesting, but not really stable/usable yet from what I understand.

I look forward to having tabs for most document based apps.

Unlocking your Mac with an Apple Watch might be kind of exciting?

Although to be fair it stopped working for no discernible reason (was working this morning, not working now).

I guess the new file system is kind of exciting.

The new file system (APFS) will be released in 2017. It's available only as a developer preview now with macOS Sierra.
