Q: is there any reason to keep iphoto on my computer?
Some time ago the Photos app appeared, and apparently iPhoto became obsolete. But iPhoto is still on my computer. Is there any reason to keep it?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

Generally Photos is much more advanced than iPhoto in editing plus it includes extensions giving it access to all external editors and many specialized editing features which will grow over time - Photo Editing Extensions for Photos for Mac
the basic differences are discussed in the user post - Photos 1.5 vs iPhoto 9.6.1: Features and Capabilities
again it is totally your choice but generally is is best to keep the iPhoto application and at least archive the iPhoto library
