I've been running the final beta for a couple of weeks, tonight I plan on downgrading to El Cap, and staying there for a few months.

I have not found a single useful feature, and many bugs, both on the OS (time machine seems more broken than usual) and in other apps (notably Emacs keeps crashing).

Maybe I'm getting old, but I would strongly recommend leaving this one until at least .1, if not .3

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 look forward to having tabs for most document based apps.

While they're at it, can we make paste and match style the default? I can never remember the four key chord to do this and as a result send emails that look like ransom notes because of mismatched formatting.

My occasional workaround has been to paste in a text editor as plain text. I agree though, that the paste and match style should be default.

Do you know if you have to be on the same wifi network for this to work, like with AirDrop?

AirDrop doesn't require you to be on the same wifi network, or even for the devices to have internet access. I use it to toss files from my Macbook to my (completely offline) iPad regularly.

Sierra wiped my iTunes library

That sucks. Are you sure you weren't using iCloud library and need to enable it to download the music? Or perhaps iTunes by default doesn't show music in the cloud? Would be interested in your resolution, though I've not heard of this anywhere else.

Finally need a new Mac ! My 2009 MBP has been cast off from the upgrade train - forever to be stuck in ElCapitan :( Over the years I could upgrade the HD speed and size from 5400 rpm -> 7200 -> Momentus -> 512 GB SSD. Can't say that about the newer MBPs .. (waiting for October to see what comes out)

I'm not seeing it on the "Updates" tab within the App Store. Are people usually supposed to search for it?

The update should show up later today. If you are impatient, you can search for it in the meantime.
