I got a macbook 2016 model with touch bar as a work laptop. I was scared of all things, the lack of esc, ports, magsafe. However after using it for X months, I am never going back.
- The touchbar is great with sliders for brightness and volume. That's ALL I use it for though, so it is a bit under utilized.
- The esc key might be the only minor issue, but it's mostly the lack of feedback.
- Ports - I love having to unplug only one dongle instead of the 4-5 USD/HDMI/ETC/ETC I always have plugged in every time I need to move away. And plugging them all back in is also a single action. I'd be ok with less ports even.
- Magsafe, I still love it but I haven't even missed it.
- No issues with the keyboard and I haven't used function keys in years anyway.
I think it 'clicked' for me after a few weeks of usage, so I understand people judging it or even returning it after a few days.
