This is completely anecdotal, but I work with several clients that all just refreshed their entire hardware stock with the new MacBook Pros for a good percentage of their employees (if not for every employee). The only people I've yet to hear complain about the Touch Bar or the computers in general are people on HN and Reddit. Every person I've interacted with that has used it loves the Touch Bar and a not-insignificant population of those people are developers. To say that "core customers are unhappy" is a gross generalization that, to me, doesn't have any basis in reality.
- elexotico 10y agoThough I might agree with your general conclusion, saying that the reactions you do see on reddit and HN "don't have any basis in reality" by using your, significantly smaller, closed circle of people with whom you interacted as comparison sounds wrong. You have the experience of your personal circle and the experience of reading online critiques and comments - they both suffer from the same "go with the flow" disadvantages, yet the second one is possibly much larger, diverse and informed.
