However it's a console escape key, which means it doesn't work in graphical applications (VS Code, Atom, IDEs, ...). You might also want vim mode there. Or want easy access to escape for other reasons (intellisense can sometimes be annoying, ...).

Sublime's Vim mode (https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/vintage.html https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/vintage.html) > Vintage supports these ctrl key bindings: * Ctrl+[: Escape [... others] Atom-vim-mode-plus has it by default. https://github.com/t9md/atom-vim-mode-plus/blob/master/keymaps/vim-mode-plus.cson#L14 https://github.com/t9md/atom-vim-mode-plus/blob/master/keyma... VSCodeVim doesn't have it by default, but it's an option. https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim#usectrlkeys https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim#usectrlkeys If you need Escape, there is always a way to get it. Whether you bind the touch bar top-left to Escape (which you should in an editing application basically and nowhere else) or you use the widely-held Ctrl-[ default bind from your favorite Vim mode. Plus, the agency of being able to dynamically rebind the rest of the keys or use it as a separate HUD could be seen as useful. I agree the MacBookPro 2016 is bad. But this is a stupid reason to think it's bad.
