Its great for scrubbing through video. Tap and hold for fast, fine grained control.

My only complaint with the touchbar is its too easy to accidentally engage Siri.

Other than that it’s a good idea IMO.

Literally the first thing I did was remove the Siri button from the touch bar.

The touchpad is fine for that. No need for duplicating functionality.

You can remove the Siri shortcut in the system preferences.
