Now we just need iCloud Photo Library to have better family sharing functionality. We need two users with two or more devices to be able to share a Photos library without having to practically hack the devices and use a single Apple ID.
"If you want to separate your photos into folders by subject you can create an album or use iCloud Photo Sharing and create an album there."
That's nice. Especially if someone has a few photos. But who has a few photos anymore? When you have 30gigs of photos, organized by project, year, family event, within a file system like folder structure, the migration to Photos will leave it all in a tangled, useless mess. It will destroy a valuable, and in my case needed, tool. For some reason Apple doesn't get this.

Sounds like your problem is with Apple no longer supporting old software like iPhotos.

The new Photos allows users to create albums if they choose to do so. You are not required to only view all your photos in one window.
IPhoto 9.6.1 is working fine on Yosemite and El Capitan here. For me to move to Photos, which I consider dreadful, it would have to have the useful organization of iPhoto. In particular that means events, albums, albums in folders, and folders in folders. Not impressed by the wow factor of seeing 30,000 tiny thumbnails of my photos in one window. I need to be able to organize and find things. Keywords are a lame way to do this. Taking the file system out of a mac app makes no sense.
What are you talking about? The Photos app has albums and albums in folders. There's also events, except they're called moments just like in iOS.
The Photos web sharing function is beyond pathetic, with the silly random squares and without titles/info. No point in beefing up the app without addressing this. Also, I have no words for the stripping of all info in the conversion from iPhoto. Wasn't that just lazy? Apple dropped the ball Big Time on many fronts on this one.
