I recently upgraded from my 2015 rMBP to the 2018 model you’re looking at. I agree the Touch Bar is a dumb gimmick (for a dev’s purposes at least), but the keyboard has grown on me, and the 6-core/12-thread CPU is a serious boon for dev work.
I wrote up a few more details here:

- wildrhythms 8y agoI tried the 13-inch touchbar model for work and I despise the touchbar in every way. I realized quickly that I have to have a physical Escape key... but more importantly, I never want to have to look at the keyboard for information, that's why I learned to type in the first place! I exchanged it for the non-touchbar model (despite having two fewer USB-C ports for some unfathomable reason, fuck you very much Apple for that) and I've been much more satisfied with having the physical keys back.
