I haven't honestly noticed a difference - I had a 2017 MBP last year, and this year upgraded it to the 2018 model .. they both feel like absolute junk to my hands, although I've been typing since the 70's so I've probably not got the young muscles Apple is after these days... And yeah, I find the touchbar useless and distracting, mostly. The thing just flashes stupidly in every app I use, and I'm pretty fatigued at having to ignore it. 20 minutes usage in iTerm is enough to drive me bonkers. Seriously hope that Apple gets its act together for next years MacBook upgrade. I regret this purchase already.

Haven't typed since the 70s, just since the early 90s, but my experience is different. I use a MacBook Pro 2018 15 inch for daily work. I recently briefly used my MacBook Pro 2013 which has the older scissor switch keyboard. I never want to go back to that keyboard again. The newer design feels much better and allows me to type quicker. The touch bar, yeah not very useful for me either, except for logging in with the fingerprint reader which is superb.
