I'm in the same boat, I much prefer the feel of the butterfly keys to the older mushy-feeling MacBook pro keyboards. Currently I'm still using the first Touch Bar MBP from 2016 and have had zero keyboard (or other hardware) problems.

I also love the current keyboards and have two devices with them that have never had a problem. I believe that others have had issues but I'm not fastidious and travel often with my MacBook, not a single stuck key in either since 2016, and the key feel is satisfying.

Same. I feel like I'm in a minority, but I much prefer the feel of the 'new' butterfly switches. I've had two MBPs so far with this mechanism - one 2016 and now a late 2018 and I've not had any reliability issues.

I've had hardware problems with the butterfly keyboard right after buying my MBP (I've had it replaced and now it works). This butterfly keyboard is really buggy but still, I love how it feels.

I’m old enough to remember people complaining about the chiclet keys on the unibody MacBook Pro compared to the old PowerBook keyboard. Kinda funny that’s now considered the halcyon days of MacBooks. ;P
