I understand the complaint about the memory restriction, when it's coming from video editors, but for developers 16GB is fine. Web development on even 8GB isn't an issue, it's fine.

The only issue I have with the new MacBook Pro, from a personal perspective is the touch bar, it seems pretty useless. Mostly my problem is that I can't opt to not get the touch bar on larger models, so I have no means of indicating to Apple that I don't need it, or want it. Let's say it turns out the the touch bar is just a gimmick, and not of any actual use to anyone. Would Apple ever admit to that? I doubt it, so now we're stuck with it.

Also perhaps price. The MacBook Pro is somewhat overpriced.
