What is Apple Photos?
Photos is a digital photograph manipulation application developed by Apple, intended to be less complex than its predecessor 
iPhoto .
Photos are organised by "moment", a combination of time and location metadata attached to the photo. Photos includes editing tools that, while easy-to-use, are more robust than those of iPhoto and "reward curiosity and additional clicks with ever more granular manipulation capabilities". A one-click enhance button is available, making subtle adjustments to pictures automatically. iCloud Photo Library is heavily integrated into the program, keeping photos and videos in sync with various Apple devices designated by the user (such as Macs, iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches), including edits and album structures. Like its predecessor, Photos includes a number of options for professional printing of photos, which can then optionally be turned into books or calendars and mailed to an address. With Photos, Apple has added new types of prints, including square sizes and the ability to print panoramas.

Terrible, ruined iPhotos. Slow. Disorganized. But can make nice photo books easily, and do simple editing of photos easily.
Doesn’t scale up well at all. If you have a large library (~20 000 images), trying to delete images crashes photos (same on both the ios and mac os x versions). Latest versions are extremely bugy.
Photos completely messes up photo organization that used to be simple in iPhoto (though wasteful of disk space). All photos are lumped together in a timeline instead of being able to shunt them into events that allow for easy browsing. Also Photos was not reliably importing videos, and would not reliably delete imported photos from the card of my Sony camera. In the end I had to move all my photos from this program onto a Windows machine to organize them properly again, and there was a large amount of duplication, and photos from 2013 being listed as 2017 simply due to download time. Also the "upgrade" from iPhotos to Photos caused this brand new MacBook Pro to run extremely slowly - had to reinstall MacOSSierra as a clean install to undo the mess. Otherwise it is very nice to do simple editing without fear of destroying the original, and it is convenient to be able to create a photo book easily from within the program. But I will be now storing my photos just simply in a directory manually.
