I could never get it to work consistently enough to make it worth learning what it could do & making it part of my workflow. It got in the way more often than I triggered it on purpose, even when I was trying to give it a fair shot.
On Macbook touchpads, all it did was make my drag-n-drop operations fail ~70% of the time. I never did figure out a legitimate use for it on that platform, but then, I had to disable it as soon as I figured out that was what was messing me up. I don't need drag-n-drop to become a dexterity game.
And I don't have any fine motor control deficiencies or anything. It was all just too damn fiddly to be worth using.
Similar with the touchbar. Turns out my fingers just barely brush the F keys when I hit a couple of the number keys. No problem with physical F-keys, as there's almost no pressure applied, but the touchbar? Had to all but completely disable the damn thing to stop triggering it by accident. Not gonna change my typing muscle-memory for the sake of a fad interface that's not even available on most of the keyboards I touch in a day.
Apple's not above making mis-steps. They do it pretty often, in fact.
