macOS Sierra Brings a Lot to the Table - but is it Worth Updating to?

The short and snappy answer to the above question is a simple 'Yes.' Why? Because macOS Sierra is packed with a lot of under the hood changes apart from the ones that are noticeably obvious. But if you're looking for more tangible reasons, then we will lay them down below which are concurrent with what you should expect tomorrow when macOS Sierra lands.
