Regardless iPhoto is gone from this Mac after the 10.10.3 update and I 
don't know why, or where it might have gone, and it is not going to 
cause me any particular distress other than the lingering mystery.

This is just my opinion. Photos seems to me to be an OSX interpretation 
of the iOS Photos app, and intended for iOS device photo shooters. It 
has the equivalent of the Camera Roll library with the same editing 
features found in the iOS app.
Trackpad gestures provide the same touch screen navigation feel found 
on iOS devices. Very nice to give those iPhone photographers an easy 
learning curve to climb, but it just cannot be compared to what was 
provided by the dead apps Aperture & iPhoto.

None of that makes Photos a particularly good photo editor, or image 
library. Having the ability to use plug-ins in such a tool is a patch 
job. Rather just use Pixelmator, Affinity Photo, or Lightroom &/or 
Photoshop CC or Elements. I can't see any user of a digital camera who 
shoots RAW files ever considering Photos.
For me, I am not going to waste much more time with Photos, especially 
since photographs from my iPhone are automatically synced to my desktop 
Lightroom 5 via Lightroom Mobile.
