You just went and contradicted your first part. It is not 'living in the past' - Just because Apple has decided to remove features, it does not mean that those who like those features are 'living in the past'. This is not a manner of opinion, it is based on workflows etc. A program can not be superior if it drops features that are a prior version had. I'd call Photos a compromise, from an objective point of view, superior for some, inferior to others.

like i said, it's ok to live in the past.
often, apps change things in a new iteration, sometimes (for better or worse), dropping features from a previous version. am not saying that's a good thing, it's just... how it is.
meanwhile, in the february 2017 issue of maclife, there's a great, detailed guide to using Photos; worth checking that out.

You're inferring that those who use particular features are living in the past. Apple is not some all ruling dictator that decides what is the 'future' and what is the past. Using certain photo organisation features that Apple has decided to remove is not an example of living in the past.
Often Apple apps drop features left right and centre, not something that happens a lot with other popular programs without good reason. Other companies can put out new versions of software that either have under the hood rewrites that maintain the existing feature set pus add new ones, or manage to update programs without complete rewrites, something that Apple doesn't seem to be able to do of late.
Unless Apple has magically re-added in missing iPhoto features over the last couple of weeks, no maclife article will be bringing me over ,and believe me I've used and trialed it to death. I have to teach people how to use it as part of my job, thus why I know it continues to be a poor program for me.
as you said, it's a 'poor program for me'. it's not for you, got it. so what are you (still) trying to prove? and really, in my own experience, lots of apps lose features as they gain new ones, making (some) people unhappy. it's the way of tech...
Those features where dropped because it confuses people just like other apps and OS-X with dumping down operating system every year. The more features the more it could confuse people. If you can allow the OS or app to do the work the better to not confuse the person.
There is this major camping among Microsoft and Apple that users who use computer is your Grandma and Grandpa these days or your 2 old and we must be dumping down the operating system. The more you see or could click on this or that the more you could get confused.
The software today and operating system we have today are nothing like we had in the 90's and 2000's
I predict in 10 years the AI and operating system will do all the work. You will not have to find any thing on your computer or organize anything. All smartphones, laptops and desktop will have same look and feel to not confuse the person learning two operating systems.
Just the thought of finding some thing on your computer or organize anything or the use of any thing remotely to file manager will cause the person to have heart attack.
All system configuration will be done by use of terminal.The system will be locked to not confuse the person or other people that use the computer so the operating systems looks the same. Any little change will confuse the person.
Any clicking or drop down menu could confuse the person so it will be deemphasize.
Anyone that is into configuration, customization and pro users will probably go with Linux unless they mess things up in 5 or 10 years from now.
iPhoto works fine under Sierra.
You'll need the app in your Purchases list (as others mentioned), or you can install iLife from the original package, then use the updates pane to associate it with your new account (assuming they're still hosting that binary).

If you don't have it in your Purchases list you will have to copy it from older Mac computer two newer one.
The newer Mac computer don't have disk drive so you cannot put in disk of iLife. You have to just copy it from old Mac computer two the new one by use of USB.
