I've forgiven Apple for many small issues over the years but the touch bar is simply unforgivable. Beyond cost it is simply poor design. Keyboards are not meant to be looked at.
I thought the worst thing about touchbar would be "no feedback on the ESC key". That's bad, but boy was I wrong. Turns out that the far worse thing for me is that I rest my left hand slightly above the number row. With touchbar, any touch, no matter how light, will trigger random stuff (very often, repeated "esc" keypresses, with the predictable disrupting effects)
