My work laptop rarely makes it through the night without crashing/rebooting. I started closing all my apps before leaving partly to diagnose the cause (which is none of the apps I use apparently) and also to at least know what I'll get when I come in.
Waking from sleep takes ages. It doesn't on my home MacBook. Think waking a windows vista device from sleep.
Back in the fall, the OS's file save/open/select dialog would hang any apps that tried to use it. Imagine writing an email in Gmail, going to make a link, and then needing to restart your entire browser because you accidentally clicked the 'attach file' button. My fear of file operations lingers.
That experience prompted me to update to sierra - I was reluctant to upgrade because el cap trashed my apps (notably the fancy new office that I depended on at the time). That solved the file upload issue, but it also broke Preview's page numbering for my textbook PDFs.
My home MacBook now has glitchy Bluetooth. I'm constantly having to restart it, and the UI seems to have a 50/50 chance of being consistent with reality.
I saved the best for last: every time I plug in my DAC/amp to my work computer (I like nice headphones that need an amp), macOS resets the balance to heavily favor the left channel. I spent so much time fiddling with cables trying to figure it out. I thought the equipment was broken, or maybe my hearing, or maybe my sanity. The workaround is easy, but as a result, I have to go into system settings daily. It sucks, but at least my home computer isn't affected.
