Oh yes, let's make fun of the people with legitimate concerns over the way the operating system is going.

It's a very convincing argument, pissing people off who are already disgruntled. I'm sure it'll make them stop.

Stop and get another non-apple computer, perhaps?
 
OSX annual releases in a nutshell.
Mostly bugs, lots of bugs, bugs, less bugs, more bugs, repeat from the beginning!

Expecting to see the removal of "used space" indicators in the Finder. Apple knows that If the Finder doesn't tell us that we only have 1 gig of space left, then we'll never run out of room.

Don't they already measure disk space in units of 1000 instead of 1024 to show a 1TB drive as 1TB?
 
After suffering mediocre battery on my 2016 15" with the prior betas I think I'm going to sit this one out. Yesterday's 10.12.2 update made battery life great for me on day one.

Same here on my 2016 MacBook Pro 13" TB. Battery life seems much better
 
In this release Apple will remove all words and numbers (i.e. facts) and only show a GUI full of emoji based on the success of removing the battery life time indicator and the follow up of loyal customers dutifully claiming the laptop lasts longer now.

O/T: nope, it's official 1000 gigabytes (GB) = 1 terabyte (TB) but 1024 gibibyte (GiB) = 1 tibibyte (TiB) (unless you adhere to the JDEC standards but every time you use "giga-" to refer to a multiple of 1024 a pedant has an anxiety attack).

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tebibyte
Also see: "Retroactive Continuity"

Maybe Apple should consider introducing the new unit of time "ihour" - 30% shorter than the standard "hour" - for its battery life estimates?
 
Are we finally to the real maintenance updates yet? The ones that benefit all users?
I'm still on El Capitan because I'm not going to install a .0 OS upgrade, and so far all the updates are focusing on adding emojis and fixing problems on the poorly designed 2016 MacBook Pros. Waiting for the general 10.12 bug fixes to come out.
 
I hope in this upcoming release or the next major release Apple produce a DESKTOP operating system, instead of a thinly disguised version of iOS. It's getting to the point where macOs is so stripped down and dumbed down, and the software that comes with the Mac is so lacking in functionality it isn't worth buying a Mac anymore.
