Can I please get a non-touchbar 15 inch macbook pro though?
Less sarcastically, I don't know how many people (proxy value is articles written about and videos made about) like the touchbar. However, Apple will never backpedal on a product no matter the reception of the touchbar which I personally hate.
If we're keying off of personal anecdote, allow me to be a single point in favor of the touch bar. I actually like the thing, and find it useful. Yes, I do!
I like it took, but I wish the escape key was a physical button. It's nice that you can touch anywhere in the corner and don't have to hit the exact spot on the Touch Bar, but it would be nice to have a button.
As a frequent vi user, I mapped my 'caps lock' key to Esc long before Apple started shipping a Touch Bar, so I have been puzzled by people lamenting the Esc key placement.
