I'm still on Mavericks and never plan to upgrade. Every new Mac OS now seems to be a major regression in basic functionality in the name of more eye candy, more Apple lockin, and more crap I have to turn off just to get work done. I'm done. I just bought a Dell XPS 13, installed Linux on it, and I'm not looking back.

Apple is pushing me there for sure.
The latest MacBook Pro is not so pro anymore. 16gb ram is embarrassing in 2017.

Maybe it wouldn't be if people stopped coding everything in node.js.
Try running a couple of test VMs, an IDE with code completion on top of a decent sized code base and you’ll be swapping like crazy even with 16GBs.

While I agree with you that node.js is bad, that's not even my issue. I use Vagrant extensively and I might want to spin up 2 or 3 VMs with 2-3GB of ram to test $thing.
Now, I can do that (3*3 == 9 < 16) but, really, it makes the rest of my system just run terribly.
I would personally pay a $1000 premium over the current MacBook Pro for a version with 64GB of RAM.
