Every time I accidentally hit something on the touch bar, I hate that I still have a Mac. Every time I intentionally use the ESC and have to touch it two or three times, I hate the Mac. Every time I need an F key, or want to do something without looking (like change volume or hit mute), I hate the Mac. Thank goodness this year I stopped using it so much as I did not have to repair the keyboard twice and potentially get COVID as in previous years.
All in all, I am glad to dislike Macs with their abysmally bad keyboards and actively hostile and negatively productive touch bar. WSL is pretty nice.
- will_pseudonym 6y agoThe critiques you have of Macbooks of touchbar and keyboard wouldn't apply to the Mac Mini. And they have an M1 Mac Mini. Personally, I would love an M1 Mac Mini that ran Linux well. Very exciting development.
- astrange 6y agoThey don't even apply to Mac laptops, which have different keyboards and a physical Esc key now.
- skavi 6y agoThey’ve swapped out the butterfly switches for more conventional scissors. They’ve also added back a hardware ESC for all models and never added a touchbar to the Air.
- pkulak 6y agoI've got two 2015 Mac Book pros kickin' around my house and they're amazing. Add in the M1 Air I just picked up and it looks like my perceptions are a bit colored by skipping that 4-year Mac Book dark era.

- viktorcode 6y agoI find it interesting that all your gripes are focused on keyboard, yet you hate the Mac
