I have no issues at all on my system. (MacBook Pro 15 inch + retina, NVIDIA GPU, macOS Sierra)

You can try resetting Mathematica to its default configuration. Here is a link to the tech support article with the details:

Resetting Mathematica

Cutting to the chase, the first thing to do is to hold down the option and shift keys while double-clicking the Mathematica Icon in the Applications folder. If this doesn't work, you can delete (move to a safe place) the user libraries as described in the article.

If this does not work, then a complete re-install may be necessary -- what version of the macOS are you running?

Thanks that did help.

I had nothing (no cloud data, no settings needing to be kept) and rm'ed the whole tree. I then re-installed, having closed Mathematica first.

rm -r /Applications/Mathematica.app/

rm -r ~/Library/Mathematica/

Install the usual way, and everything works and appears as if 11.0 was just freshly installed on a new iMac.

Mathematica doesn't offer "x" (one click remove app) like apps from App Store. I had misinterpreted that as being that the mathematica installer process would "just know" (mac spoils one at times, but it does have normal PC needs in many places)
