I felt the same way about the new butterfly keys for the first 15 minutes or so, but very quickly got a feel for them and now I prefer them to the keys on my mid-2012 MBP. I quite like the click sound they make too, it's mechanical and

I've been using a 15" tMBP for around 8 months now and although I don't miss the function keys one bit, I'm yet to have an experience with the Touch Bar that makes me go "oh, now I get it." Changing the volume

God I'd love to be able to do that in Chrome. Managing tabs totally fucking sucks, I hate that I can't combine multiple tabs into a single drop-down, or easily change the title of a tab, or tighten up the spacing, or anything I sh
