Sad! grab an Intel Mac Pro while you can. ARM Macs will be inferior in performance. 

Wow, I can't believe you said that! Raaaawwhhh! You're an internet troll!

It's crazy that this will not only bring iPhone/iPad apps to Mac, but now Mac apps will be so easily brought to iPad. Will make it really easy for any developer interested in bringing their apps to any small screen they want. iPads were already the best tablet in town, now they're the future of computing. 

I think the next big story will be hardware designs, the next MacBook will could be the thinnest laptop ever made.

I don't know that Apple should keep from adding a Calculator app to Watch because someone did it first. I'd say it's pretty basic functionality and isn't off limits to Apple / or other competitors because of someone created it. Funny that Apple is being shamed with the term 'Sherlock' for that, those developers should be thanking their lucky stars that Apple gave them like 6 years with no Calculator competitor.

Phone looks great, but saddened that they didn't put the optical zoom on it. It's being sold for $749, so it's the cheap version now, even though it's priced higher than the highest end iPhone 2 years ago, 3 years ago, etc. which all had optical zoom.

Apple was able to deliver yet again. They still have that 'magic' that keeps you on the edge of their seat during their announcements. I think it's interesting that Apple once again used their patented method of introducing a controversial feature (removing the home button) in a high end, high priced version, while leaving the legacy method intact in the old, undesirable model. Then, releasing said controversial feature in the lower priced, mass market model, and it's now no longer controversial, instead it's an upgrade. They've done this before, and it's a really smart method. Also, now that Apple is in control of their own chips, they finally are free of the shackles of some other company's time tables not matching up with their announcements. And they don't have to pay high prices for the high-end designed chip, they can just throw every feature they want in. No more paying Intel through the nose to hit print on some new 7nm process they've already developed.
