I haven't used siri yet at all on my mac, it's just not part of my workflow.
Anyone else using it?

Safari is working very smoothly for me for the first time in months. Hopefully it continues to be like this, but I have my doubts.
As far as I know, no.
Fujitsu recently updated it's info page about this.
It sounds like the scansnap software is OK going forward (i.e. for new PDFs), but the old PDFs that were created with earlier versions are still in danger of corruption. This is the only thing holding me up from upgrading to Sierra.
Sierra has been fine for me thus far. I unlock with the watch which is about the only thing I've noticed. I don't use Siri so... there's that.
Good timing though, I have to do a fresh install on a friend's machine today, so... time to download and update my USB stick!
People who aren't tech savvy? My mom? My grandfather who is just starting to use his first computer.
This might surprise a lot of people here, but the vast major of Mac and/or computer users in general aren't overly technical, don't care about Kaby Lake, and would have nightmares if forced to use the terminal. And that's okay. Not everyone is technical.

I was in touch with a Apple Engineering to fix this. I have had loads of problems, glad its now fixed and I could contribute

It's nice for somethings. Quick look at the weather without having to stop what you're doing (and faster than opening a browser window and opening weather.com or whatever site). Can do things like show you recent files or all recent pictures with someone in them. Adding reminders and events quickly.
It's really one of those thing that the more you use it the more you become use to using it and make more use of it. Use breeds more use.
As with previous updates, no significant changes or improvements. I guess if you're having any problems that was listed in the release notes this update is for you but outside of that, nothing really to note or mention.
I can see myself using it and im pretty tech savvy. It would be so easy to click a button and say google "xyz". Or "check weather" etc. "remind me in 45 mins to take out the trash" than to have to go opening up programs and stuff. I used voice to text on my phone constantly too.Whether it be for texting or for googling or for setting alarms.
Remember folks when you update it often re-indexes your drives when first updated so things WILL be slower until the indexing process completes.
In the right light, that could be a picture of the baby Jony Ive... About ready to throw a tantrum, too...
I think at least 10.8 and onwards has overall been just as stable for me.
Tiger had a nasty problem which sometimes caused a Kernel Panic when browsing folders (containing images maybe, because that's when it happened in my case) residing on a server (over AFP). Wasn't fixed until Leopard (10.5).
same as all the other failings Siri can give you. haha
Here is my fave. "Im not sure what you said there" gets me every time...
After almost 2 hours with the updated OS, I'd say that all the annoying bugs 10.12 introduced are still there. On the + side, I haven't run into any new ones
Could you perhaps share which annoying bugs those are?
I've updated 2 iMacs and one MacBook Pro (all 2013 models) and Safari is running fine. I'm not seeing the problems that others have reported.
Immediate restart your Mac! When I booted Sierra the first time on my Mac Mini 2012, CPU temperature was going up to 100° (Celsius), took all CPU resources. After a restart all was fine. It could be Spotlight going nuts with some files.
ditch the logitech software.. drive the mouse with macOS.. customize it within applications (when applicable)
