There was a time when I was able to sing the Aniron song from the Lord of the Rings movies ... but that time has passed.Dude, I never stopped ("Tiro! Êl eria e môr..." - plays in my head :)) )
Little Snitch - it's AMAZING how much crap dials home on a Mac.Amen to that!
F.Lux - FAR better than the built in screen dimmer. Do these work? I think so, but try one for a week then disable it and feel your eyes burn.
Fonts. Well, even with OS X, I managed to install Aniron as my system font (Tolkien fan) – just as I did before. I hate that with new version it became difficult, but after some jumping through the hoops, every hour in front of the screen is an epic adventure.Show Image(https://media4.giphy.com/media/yUSLvx5GW5YgU/giphy.gif)
Had a variety on my older system such as BetterTouchTool for customizing multi-touch gestures, a different dock, and the old classic Mac smiley face icon on startup to replace the Apple logo. Macs are pretty difficult to customize in the same way, or there'll be some simple, Windows freeware-equivelent programs for like $20 :D
mac has way better battery life than windoz 7.. so.. there's really not much to optimize.
I think the only thing I downloaded was a custom fan speed program for when I was editing videos. I had an old '09 Imac that got pretty hot when I would edit for extended amounts of time.I was always recommended to not use those.

Actually, go into Windows power management and adjust cpu max performance on battery to 30% (Windows uses 50% throttle), congrats, you now have Mac battery life. That's all it is, there's nothing magical going on, and you can do this in Linux as well using TLP (though you will get a little less battery).
This is also why it's harder to predict battery life on a Mac compared to Windows, any hard processing will cause it to just grind at 100% (actually 30%) for longer periods, during which time you will do other things and load it up even more, rather than it doing what it needs to get done and go back to idle. If you do a lot of short, high cpu loads, a higher throttle is better, if you do a lot of low resource and little high cpu load, a lowered throttle is better, on Windows you can play with this to get the most for what you are doing by switching profiles or tuning your current profile, Mac you are stuck with what Apple gives you.

is Keybindingseditor the best Karabiner replacement for sierra? i'm still on el cap becuase of karabiner and becuase of how sierra handles logitech devices super annoyingKeybindingseditor is probably the best replacement for Karabiner, it seams to do most of the same thing, it's just not as simple to use.
