I own a 13" MacBook Pro early 2015 model with El Capitan. Being a software engineer it served my purpose well and then came the much hyped macOS Sierra. I being an early adapter took the risk of upgrading. Lets see some ups and downs of macOS Sierra.
1. Battery Backup : The 13" MacBook claims 10 hours backup while I noticed upto 11 hours after upgrade to Sierra. This came as a big surprise. Certainly loved it.

2. Tabs : Being developer, its pain working through multiple windows of most of the apps. Tabs comes as a great relief :) Thanks Apple.
Rating : 2 apples
3. iCloud Drive : Another thoughtful feature by Apple. iCloud Drive helps backup rarely used files to cloud drive so that your MacBook Pro is always clutter free, plus you get to access the files whenever you want and from any other Apple device.

1. Siri : The much hyped feature of Sierra is of good but not great. It does not add any value to a developers life. It does the job for a normal user but disappoints a power user. Its not consistent either. I asked repeatedly about available storage and every time I got different answer while the "About This Mac" showed a different value.
Rating : 1/2 apple
2. USB Ethernet connector : After the upgrade my USB Ethernet connector stopped working. I googled but could not find any useful information. Took the mac to Apple store only to find out that its a known issue and there is no clarity when and who (Apple or Vendor) will fix it. Sad.

I did not use other features like Universal Clipboard, Log in via Apple Watch as I have only one Apple device. These features are not very helpful for developers.
So one can live without upgrading to macOS Sierra or at least wait for some more updates to be released by Apple.
