I bought the version without Touch Bar because I hated it so much (after trying one at the store) and desperately need a new Macbook Pro to replace my old 8 year old one. So I agree even though I won't be buying another computer for a few years. I do like the new keyboard though. Shame about it having worse specs but it's more than enough for my dev needs.

Apple's continuing with the bizarre / bad design decisions, the latest iPhone X has an ugly notch in the screen, unfortunately there's no way to avoid that if you want the latest iPhone.
