I think the lack of standard ports, mag-safe, hdmi and sd card slots are big regressions in functionality.

Not to mention that the touchbar is not very useful, and as an emacs user, a big pain to not have a physical <esc> key.

I live in Emacs too. I thought you could get one with real buttons? Did they drop that?

They make a 13" MBP without the touchbar. Except it's using the lower power 15 watt CPUs, the same category the Macbook Airs used to use. So it's basically a Macbook Air with a retina screen and a hefty price hike.

Vim user. Mapped <esc> to capslock. But yeah, the touchbar drives me insane because I accidentally just press buttons on it all the time.
