Am I the only one here who is happy with the new Macbook? I find the speed incredible - the keyboard feels much more "natural". The touchbar saves me a lot of time. Downsides are that it's not supported yet in lot of important applications I use (Slack, Atom). I'm not bothered at all by the USB-C ports. USB dongles are on sale for 2€ on Amazon/ebay and work properly. Besides that I have nearly no more external devices I have to attach (except external HD sometimes but even those are Wifi connected nowadays). + not a real benefit but the design of the MBP is amazing and a real eye catcher again. For me this is a shitstorm for nothing.

No. I am wondering the exact same thing. The MBP bash on reddit/HN seems like a cry for easy karma. I love everything about the new MBP and even have good battery life with it!
