I'm an avid vim user, and the touchbar escape key gives me no trouble whatsoever. Since it's a single button on a far end with space between it and the other buttons, it's hard to miscalculate the position of the tap even without looking. There was no learning curve; it didn't take time to get used to it.

I suppose it's just a matter of personal preference and habit, though. Maybe some people have trouble aiming? I really thought I'd miss the tactile feedback (as has been the case with similar touch devices for me in the past), but in this case, I don't really notice it.

i'm a regular vim user and my muscle-memory still tells my finger to "press" the ESC button. without that tactile response something just feels a little off. i frequently find myself hitting it a second time while logged into remote terminals over poor connections, as i don't get the immediate visual cue that my ESC has registered. not only that but last week my touchbar became unresponsive (and after various attempts to fix it, is now completely blank), so now i don't even have an ESC button :( so now i've been using Ctrl[ until i get around to remapping ESC. i can't believe the touchbar doesn't drive apple engineers/devs crazy.. regretting replacing my 2014 mbp
