Even as an emacs user, the answer is generally "No, I don't really use the function keys".
I mean, you're right that I use them to change brightness or change volume. But the touch bar can still do that, so... Meh.
It would probably be awkward to use for about a week, and then I'd get used to it. So it's kind of a whatever.
I do agree it's a dumb gimmick though, and is unlikely to offer anything more than the meme of running Doom on the touchbar.
- dan-robertson 7y agoYeah, I basically only use F3 and F4, and if they were missing I guess I’d just learn the alternatives.

- werber 7y agoI had one for two months and could not get used to it, I don't even use the functions keys that much. But I also can't stand a back lit keyboard, it's just so distracting.

- NotATroll 7y agoNah, I just spam M-x butterfly for 8 hours and then go home. No need to hold 3 modifier keys.
