So who's gonna be working on Sublime/Atom/Vim/Emacs integration on this. Shit, imagine all the things one can do with that bar (multi-touch, slidable, swippable

  What can I do with the bar that I can't do with keyboard commands and my multi-touch touchpad? Vim seems especially rough, with no physical escape key. Guess I'll map that to caps lock?

    Increase/decrease font size, adjust window height/width. I know you can do it with keyboard, but perhaps touch bar could make it more "natural" and free up key bindings for something else. Escape can be mapped to a double width button on the left.

      How is this better? I don't have to look at the keyboard to perform chords. With no tactile feedback, I certainly have to look at the touch bar. What's more, common actions usually have high-priority, simple chords (cmd-c/cmd-v, for example) --- whereas complex chords are used for infrequent commands (cmd-alt-shift-c to re-assign the origin in blender, for example). If we're going to surface commands in the touch bar, intuition says to surface the common commands, and leave infrequent ones tucked away, meaning that even with the touch bar you don't have quick or simple access to those commands.
