You say "potahto" (eye-candy), I say "potayto" (pointless gimmickry).  :-)

Yeah, right. We know you'll be making a Memoji  ;-)  just like every 
other iOS user ... until they get bored of the gimmick after a few 
'look at this new gimmick' uses and then never bother using it ever 
again, like the previous Animojis.

Unless you use properly set-up tags (highly unlikely for those who are 
disorganised enough to litter their Desktop with files in the first 
place), the Desktop Stacks simply group together files of the same 
type, making it somewhat useless. You'd be better off at least making 
your own Desktop folders to store stuff in organised how you want ... 
or even better, put the files away in properly organised locations in 
the first place.

The one person I help out who has an incredibly messy Desktop wouldn't 
know the difference between looking in the 'Photos' stack or the 
'Documents' stack, so they'd still be trawling through all the stacks 
looking for the file they want.

I'm not sure you've got that correct. I haven't seen any mention of a 
Finder "get info" panel yet. There is a new info panel on the *right* 
side of the 'Gallery' view, but it only shows the meta data from media 
files (the video format, the photo dimensions, etc.), not the actual 
Finder info. Potentially that could eventually be expanded on to show 
info for other files types.

Some people are all excited about the "new Gallery view" ... except 
it's already been there for many previous versions of macOS under the 
name "Cover Flow", and is rarely-to-never used by most people.
