ive run Sierra beta for a while now but, you know, I just don't care about it. 10.11.6 is pretty stable so I'm simply not seeing a compelling reason to upgrade. 10.11.6 should be good for another couple of years with security updates. I'm likely hedging my bets to see what 10.13 and 10.14 bring to the table. Perhaps the expectation for OS X upgrades is too intense as recent years have shown a diminishing upgrade value. That's perhaps just a sign of a mature OS.

If it doesn’t bother you and you haven’t experienced any annoyances, then why not upgrade? I believe computers should be kept up to date, unless there is a particular reason to delay it.

I've always felt it's better to upgrade after the first patch comes out. With incremental updates it's what's under the hood that always seems to be worth it. I don't care about voice commands but if they've streamlined code to keep it more efficient, is a little better on the battery, and better security.

Nah ima upgrade once the actual software is out. Betas are always buggy, slower etc. Pretty hyped for siri to be implemented tbh.
