- return of scripting, alright maybe not AppleScript, but JS, Python, anything: I want to automate my UI meanderings, what the hell
- return of services: make this a reminder, make this a note, send this as email, etc. come on
- a chat app with windows: why is it exactly that every Telegram and Twitter and whatnot has me clicking back and forth and back and there and back and here, why? also why can't I open a chatroom with these three WhatsApp peeps and this one Twitter dude and my mom on Skype? this is backwards
- return of managers: at some point iTunes stopped being my 90+GB music library manager, and became hell knows what. same with Photos, Safari, Mail. all full of cloud and gotchas and eye-candy that keeps me away from my stuff by making me wait.
- the return of self-published dashboard widgets. they are awesome. I'll be where they are, thank you very much.
- Scripting isn't gone. The OSA services are still there; Python isn't installed by default but that's all.
- Services isn't gone.
- Yeah, that's fairly annoying. I think Skype has tear-off-able windows but that might only be for voice calls, not chat windows.
- The new Music app (which is really just iTunes with all the videos, podcasts, and other crap ripped out) now just manages music — it's oriented towards Apple Music by default but a couple of clicks in the View menu changes that.

Python is still installed by default. Launching /usr/bin/python (2.7.16) prints a big warning about how "future versions of macOS will not include Python 2.7", but that's because Python2 is EOL.
Yes, the new Music app is literally just iTunes with the podcasts, audiobooks, and such taken out. It still retains all the Music-related scriptability.
At a glance, the new Podcasts app isn't scriptable but the TV app is.

Is this directed towards Apple? Cause they only make one chat app, called Messages, which lets you open conversations in separate windows.
