> Is USB-C really a step back from magsafe?
For magsafe, yes. But overall, I like the move to USB-C. I plug 1/2 as many things into my computer each time I sit at the desk as I used to. Once these docks come down a bit more in price I'll plug a single wire into my computer at the desk.
> Is removing the function keys really a step back?
Not sure. Right now I'm indifferent.
> How about removing 3.5mm jacks from a phone?
Definitely a tempest in a teapot.
As an aside, the few people I know with 2017 MBPs all like the keyboard. None of us have had issues so I'm sure that makes a difference. Personally, I like the key travel and how quickly I can type on the new keyboard.
