Problems with MacBook butterfly switch keyboards

About the ESC key - if you're using vim you should be remapping it to caps lock. If you rather not remap, you can always just hit ctrl [ (and this works out of the box).

I've been doing this for so long its natural to me even on a keyboard with an actual escape key.

I’m a heavy VIM user and I’ve never once had a problem hitting the ESC key on the touchbar. Yes, it doesn’t have same tactile feel, but it’s an ESC key and is a known distance and angle away, so I’m fine.

If you're talking about escaping a non-normal mode, control+c should always work just fine.
