I was pretty wary of the new mbp because of the initial negative posts.. but figured I may as well give it a shot, so I've also had mine since a few weeks after they came out. In my own opinion all the negative attention was correct. It's not at all unusable, but it's been strictly worse than the previous generation. The lack of tactile feedback on the touchbar makes me have to look at the keyboard to use it which is a step back. It also doesn't attempt to verify that i'm actually trying to press a button which makes them easier to accidentally press than a real button. The keyboard is okay, but the buttons occasionally stick and require finagling to fix, typing is marginally slower and less friendly on my wrists than the previous gen. I preferred using actual right click on my trackpad and on the newer version that's entirely impractical and I have not seen any benefit to the size increase. None of my issues are dealbreakers and I'm sure most people find the new version to be fantastic.
