6 of 1, half a dozen of the other? I agree there are things about the new software that are not as good as the old. OTH, it's really hard to maintain feature-parity on launching a new rewrite. I think a lot of this stuff will eventually get there. For the most part I'm liking the new Photos app.

Also, OS X has only been getting better IMO. They just need to do a release cycle where they work on polish, which I believe they intend to do.
