This is, sadly, a total clunker on my Macbook Retina Pro 2015. The loading was slow, the rendering seemed to be just a couple of frames per second. Using the touchpad the actions seemed to be inverted (zooming in the opposite way to what I

I did exactly the same thing. I was waiting for this release and knew I'd be updating from my 2012 rMBP this time around. But, in the end, I couldn't accept the large list of compromises. When it came down to it I specced out a br

The point is that it's an equivalent workflow. It doesn't make the process of developing worse if you're used to those tools so why does it matter if it's 100% local? We can assume if it's working for them then netw

Perfectly fair question! I touch type, so basically never. But I'm open to seeing what possibilities it brings. :-) I mostly use Sublime Text, Slack, Google Docs, and the terminal. That pretty much covers everything I need to achieve.

I have a new Macbook Pro on order, I'm excited to try out TouchBar, I hope it hangs around and isn't just a gimmick that falls by the way side. The price is high and I'm surprised they pushed it that far (being in the UK it&#
