Get a 15-inch MacBook Pro. TouchBar is the best for programming.

  Could you elaborate? I have heard the exact opposite. https://www.imore.com/why-i-skipped-touch-bar-and-stuck-function-keys https://www.imore.com/why-i-skipped-touch-bar-and-stuck-func...

  Having owned one since January, I can tell you the TB has had approximately 0 impact on how I use my machine.

  I think I could care less about the touch bar, because I am one of the few willing to admit that I don't use vim. ;) However, I am _much_ more frustrated by the lack of MagSafe. I am a tremendous klutz (as are my kids, and my cats, etc), so the peace of mind of being able to not destroy my laptop, should I ever trip on a cord or step on it, is something which I am wary of. For those of you with newer Macbooks, how do you handle charging?

    "Ctrl+[" is equivalent to pressing Esc to exit the insert mode in vim

  The TouchBar makes the MacBook unsuitable for touch typists. Anecdotally, it’s causing the most significant exodus of developers from MacBooks for many years.

  I disagree so much with this, the stupid TouchBar gets in the way 99% of the time.

  I press escape thousands of times a day, and no I’m not interested in altering my muscle memory in vim just for the touchbar.
