I have come to appreciate the new keyboard, primarily because the keys feel more stable under fingers than the older keyboards. The shorter travel doesn't bother me, though the additional noise is slightly annoying and the arrow key layout is sub-par. But, on the whole, the keyboard is fine. I've only had mine for three months, so it remains to be seen how it holds up. It's the other parts of the MBP design that suck: USB-C induced dongle hell is real. The touchbar is a useless gimmick. Battery life isn't great.
