Completely agree. Having too look to use it makes it not very pleasant to touch vs a responsive key. While it's a neat feature for the day doesn't seem to help

Completely agree. Having too look to use it makes it not very pleasant to touch vs a responsive key. While it's a neat feature for the day doesn't seem to help with productivity since I can do anything quickly already blindly with the keyboard. If the next MBP I buy has a version without (but top of the line in all other respects I'd opt for one without the touchbar. I'm often using that space to adjust the sound or sometimes manually the brightness and that always becomes a conscious chore with the touchbar. I like many are sticking with it hoping someone will find a user for it that makes it a killer feature even if niche.
