Do people not rebind their keys any more? As it stands, I have the same debug shortcuts for VS, PyCharm, and gdb (with some dirty hacks).
Additionally, how many applications will end up supporting the touch bar in an intuitive and effective way? I use macs fairly rarely, and I've never used the touchbar, but the whole graphical buttons thing just feels like a toolbar pulled down from the screen onto my keyboard. We mostly learned shortcut keys to reduce the amount of looking at toolbars and moving mice. Now, we'll have to instead look for toolbar icons that every application has in a different order, with different icons, and move our hands way from the keyboard just as we used to with mice.
I think that the touch bar in reality does have a purpose. It serves a very small slice of users nicely, and the rest it will be a novelty. For most people, it doesn't feel like a net gain.

I don't know about you, but I can't touch type the function keys anyway (I can barely touch type the number row accurately), so looking down is what I'm going to do anyway (except when stepping through, then I rest my finger on the appropriate F* key). Though I think I'll get some mileage out of Touch Bar, I also think it's one of those things we should at least try before rushing to judgement and firing up the blogging tool. I, too, once thought the iPad was just an overgrown iPhone, until FedEx dropped one at my door.
