100% of the time for me. I prefer the trackpad over the mouse.

100% of the time for me, I wouldn't wipe my butt with a trackpad, let alone use one for work. It's always fun for me to meet people who do things the complete opposite I do them. It's oddly satisfying, like, I'm glad someone is my polar opposite on an issue or activity.

    It depends. For lists, I do spaces. Allows for more levels than a tab would. But for everything else, tabs. I've also grown to loathe that first-line tab beginning the second paragraph. It makes left-aligned text look wonky. I loathe centered text too. I'm not a rounded rectangle person. I think the colored block UI that's all over Android, sites like HN, etc. looks tacky. We went from semi-transparent glass UI to flat colored blocks, and somehow interfaces got slower and more processor intensive. Now, that's a horse of a different color.

  It’s like we all have an evil doppelgänger out there’re of us who is religiously fervent about trackpads

    Honestly, I think of any number of issues in the world that we have to navigate, and I am truly grateful that so few of them require a trackpad.

Trackpads are really un-ergonomic when they're attached to the laptop. Both your wrist and neck are bent because the trackpad and screen are attached that way. Consider getting a separate USB trackpad and putting it in a "mouse like" position so your wrist is straight and you can raise the laptop to just under eye level.

  I position my MacBook where I'd place my standalone trackpad. I could probably get a Magic Trackpad from work. But that would mean I need to carry another accessory with me. So I'll have a proper monitor and a standalone keyboard in front of me. And the MacBook screen on the side is being used to display secondary information (chat windows and logs I don't need to actively look at). Having the fingerprint sensor and the TouchBar lock button within reach are also nice (yes, I actually like the touchbar)
