Okay, before tech-savvy vim-using HNers complain about Apple not making proper computers, touchbar is an unpredictable/unfixable mess, worst UX ever, please think about what kind of tools you’re using with your computer. For a person who regularly uses Emacs for coding, Photoshop and Illustrator for graphic design, Xcode sometimes, and casual apps like Safari, Finder, Powerpoint, etc... the touch bar is an innovation. It allows using context-aware menus without moving my hands from the keyboard to my trackpad or mouse; and it is much more discoverable since the touch bar items are shown at a glance. Isn’t one of the biggest reasons of using vim/emacs is that one doesn’t have to move one’s hand from the keyboard? Why complain about the touch bar when the editor you’re using is failing to show context-sensitive menus...? I’ve once wrote a super hacky script I made by copy-pasting some plugin codes and some shell script, pandoc, some elisp and some AppleScript, hooked the script up with a touchbar item to scrape the DOM, convert into org/md and open a new buffer in emacs with the appropriate mode on. I’ve used it very effectively until I formatted my computer by accident and my code disappeared. Don’t complain with the touchbar; complain to your tools. To get the most out of your computer, use tools or make one that is designed for your computer. BTW, I’m not saying everything is right; I think that hapic feedback should be given when the touchbar is pressed; some touchbar default layouts aren’t consistent between apps; etc... I’m saying that it’s not right to call the touchbar as shit when you’re not using the appropriate tools.
