Let's just hope Mac OS 10.16 isn't as much of a nightmare as 10.15. Still refuse to install it on my machines.
From a user perspective there is unlikely to be meaningful impact on daily apps, moving to ARM. Moving from PPC to x86 was seamless for the most part, other than some legacy apps. I doubt we'll see major rewrites of Adobe apps, and other big ticket apps for a while though. To me the biggest question is, will Apple in moving to ARM also using the same GPU package as they do on iPad, or try to use something else? I doubt they'd be able to use AMD Radeon or NVIDIA chips, since they would need special custom firmware to work with it.
