Stacks on the desktop is really nice. Dark mode is loverly. Quicklook is
much more capable, the preview pane is finally useful, and Siri controls
my HomeKit devices.

I have only used Facetime to talk to my wife/kids when I was away for a
week, which nearly never happens. However, when we upgrade to iPhones X
this fall, I am sure we will be using animoji/Memoji facetime. I will
definitely be using them in iMessages.

Even with a well organized desktop, which I have, the stacks are useful.
I no longer need to put temporary images into a folder for neatness
sake, i can just have a stack. It's great. the UI is little clunky, but
part of that might be that my beta computer doesn't have a trackpad.
