Except for some hardware issues (stuck on my 2013 MBA for 3-5 days), I have been generally happy with my 2016 MBP. Performance is solid, even for processor and memory intensive tasks. I attribute this in part to the memory management improvements to macOS in the past 5 years (without which, 16GB would be quite horrid). Battery life is generally acceptable as long as I reboot occasionally. The keyboard is a bit louder than my prior Macbook's, but I find that I type more accurately. The 15" screen is beautiful, especially given that I won't need to break my back to lug it around.
32GB RAM option (at price point of current 16GB configuration)
Face ID (in addition to retaining Touch ID)
Integrated FIDO U2F
Upgradeable SSD (or M.2 expansion slot)
Improve battery life by 30 - 40%
Don't be cheap ... put the wall cord back in the box
High-speed SD slot
In terms of the Touch Bar, I'm fine with it as long as I have a way to pad some dead space in the top right (where Siri is by default).
I have a couple of software quibbles as well, including:
Bring back Ctrl-Shift-Power shortcut
Enable U2F support in Safari
Disable Touch ID for unlock while continuing to use it for authorizing privileged actions
Integrated Touch ID for sudo
