The new normal sucks.

Complaint is more about unprompted 5.3GB download.

I'm not upset with any one device because I'm sure they all have an option to disable auto download. But there is now so much auto downloading that goes on in my house (I can think of 15 devices top of my head) that my wifi often can't reliably stream Twitch or YouTube.
I think I'm at the point in the tech story of my home that I would love a UI that shows total and per-device usage history. With knobs to throttle each device on a temporary or permanent basis.

#7The entry model of MacBook Pro comes with just 250GB,
I personally struggle to keep 30GB free (I need to have Android SDK and iOS SDK installed)
When having less than 20GB the OS gets slow, so I usually run DaisyDisk to find what can I delete, I didn't like to find the high sierra installer there.
On the side note, I didn't update to High Sierra because it seems that there are issues with XCode 9 (slow simulator) so I can't risk.

If the rollouts anything like the utter debacle that was iOS 11, they shouldn't be forcing major OS updates down peoples throats.

#9Our IT dept just sent us an email NOT to upgrade if OS asks. Wonder if the holdout is the new filesystem or something else?

#10Given how much worse High Sierra has been for me performance and stability wise I’d be quite upset if I’d been tricked/forced into installing it.
For instance activating accessibility zoom freezes the entire system for 5-10 seconds before it kicks in. It’s horrible.
I am also regularly frustrated with file system changes taking up to 30 seconds to show up in Finder. I presume this is a side effect of APFS.
