The touchbar was useful in one important way.
Because it made the esc key useless for touch typists and because, as a vi user, I hit esc approximately a bazillion times per day I mapped caps lock to esc.
Now my fingers don't travel as far to hit esc.
I still use that mapping even on my regular keyboards and my current non-touch-bar macs.
Thanks touchbar macs, rest in peace.

All the others have increments that are too large, so I have to try to remember if Shift + Opt + Volume Up/Down is what I want, or some other combination.
