I have the 15in MBP and wish I never did. I hate the keyboard and the touch bar and the fact that it seems like every app I like is moving to a subscription model. It is getting quite expensive using Apple anymore.

it has always been expensive!

True, but I feel that lately Apple is cutting corners with parts. I'm using the new MBP to type this and the keyboard stinks and lately my spacebar has been sticky. The "need a dongle for everything" situation is a nightmare, too.

I'm feeling backed into a corner--Microsoft sucks, Apple sucks, Google has become untrustworthy and thus sucks. It's like all these tech companies are breaking it off you know where and we have no choice but to accept that.

I feel your pain. Luckily i'm typing this on the best macbook pro the 2015 model (that's not saying much). It even has a real escape key and a couple of ports. Still need a dongle to get a displayport output though. I installed Windows, as the best worst option, as the dumbing down of iOS..erm mac OS, is intolerable as a developer.
