I like the touchbar! Especially now that the esc key is physical. I never use f keys, and I like knowing what the “key” is going to do before I touch/press it.

- trimbo 6y agoThe touchbar wouldn't be so bad if it was further away from the number keys. The touchbar is ridiculously sensitive, so typing numbers means risking hitting it, then suddenly my computer unmutes.
- rootusrootus 6y agoI agree. Function keys are abstract, useful for particular niche cases. Done right, the touchbar seems like a better solution. I'm glad they brought back a physical ESC, for sure, but I don't think going back to function keys is actually a step forward. It also seems like an un-apple thing to do. I'd like more ports. But I'm not sold on the idea of going back to an HDMI port, displayport, etc. I'd rather see the world switch everything to USB-C than see Apple go back to one of each port. I'd like to be able to hook up a half dozen monitors, or a half dozen network connections, or a half dozen hard drives, or ... you get the idea.
