  Yes, I'm the same about typing with pain! The thing is you have to type differently on it -- no more banging down your fingers as you might be used to, just a very light touch that, once you get the hang of it, feels so much more graceful and civilized -- and no longer any strain in my wrists. But I think a lot of people either don't realize they need to change the way they type physically, or are resistant to it. It takes a couple days to change your habits like that. Tip: if you're one of the people complaining about the butterfly keyboards being loud... they aren't if you use less force.

  I won't think twice, I'll be jumping right in on the new one, I think at least. Assuming it only gets better from here on out. I'm still deathly scared of the battery becoming worthless as well as my keys stop working reliably. The 'L' right now on my 2017/2018 MacBook Pro might need an Apple Store visit soon and I have had a keyboard cover on it since the split second I took it out of the box. I don't feel safe without the cover until the keyboard is a replaceable part again.

    A counterpoint: I have not had an issue with my 2017 model despite never having had a case or keyboard cover, and travelling weekly with it. If you want a laptop with a replaceable keyboard I would look away from the Apple ecosystem, it’s quite obvious that is never coming back regardless of any design updates.
