Installed last night.
No problems so far.
Siri is cool, however I can't see me using it in the office.
Had to create a new time machine backup, so that's taking a while.
The new storage management is quite cool, helps removing files, however, I'm not going to be storing my files in the cloud, as I work on high latency low bandwidth sites.
I couldn't find storage management so launched from Siri.

Only warning would be to anyone using any Razer devices as Synapse 2.0 is TOTALLY incompatible at the moment. If it's installed, it will disable any Razer keyboards and probably cause kernel panics anyway. i.e uninstall synapse before updating to Sierra and then wait for Razer to update the software. Either use your Razer devices using the basic USB drivers or use something like Steermouse to configure them.
Razer are being particularly crap about this, especially as it was less terrible earlier on in the beta when all it did was just not allow you to change any settings.

I installed it this morning. Really not much difference to El Cap to be honest.
No issues so far and seems to be working well.
The new cloud options (desktop & documents, and optimize) have been turned firmly off and will remain so forevermore. If it is on my desktop, it is probably there for a reason!
Siri works ok most of the time for simple tasks such as 'find documents from the past week' but for anything else I find the recognition to be as crap as it is on the phone, hence I rarely use it.

Not done Sierra yet, slightly put off by the crap old car by the same name I did Safari 10 tonight and I'm now using Chrome. They have removed the text zoom function which for those of us with rubbish eyes was essential for browsing PH. The zoom function just does the entire page without rescaling so you have to scroll left and right also, Chrome auto adjusts the width to keep it 1 page wide.
Will probably upgrade to Sierra at the weekend if nobody starts reporting any big issues.

Upgraded my 2013 MacBook Air without issue.
Everything continues to work as before (including some older software), bar having to redownload Java and a couple of icons that needed caching again.
Siri's a nice addition, though I'm far faster typing into Spotlight than I am triggering Siri and then speaking.

Need to set up voice activation - which I tried and failed at last night Everything continues to work as before (including some older software), bar having to redownload Java and a couple of icons that needed caching again.

Installed on my 2015 27" 5K iMac with no problems last night.
Similar - done mine this morning. Everything looking good - just starting my MBP while I'm at it.Bit of an oddity with the Mac though. I've been monitoring my keyboard Low Battery position for a few days - it was down to 16%, but - as you probably know - it wants to keep nagging you that the batteries are Low - Dangerously Low - The World's About to End, Low......
So when Sierra was loaded it immediately showed 56% Battery.....
It's re-thought that now and says I'm at 16%, so that's OK.
Siri kicked in OK - I had to turn He to a She, because i couldn't be doing with a bloke calling me "Sweetie"......
