> the keyboard going from good-enough to fairly-crappy.

And don't forget the ginormous trackpad where your typing ends up in weird places because your palm or your wrist touched it unexpectedly. And forget it if you had the shift key pressed - very easy to have a large chunk of the document you're working on disappear making you wonder wtf just happened.

Do you actually use a mac? Because I've NEVER had that happen to me. Ever.

The trackpad software is exceptionally good at detect errant touches.

Maybe my experience is abnormal.

Related, I saw someone using their Apple Pencil with their writing hand hovering above the screen. They weren’t aware of palm rejection, thanks to crappy experiences from other devices and touch based stylus use.

I've never had the palm rejection work on my ipads, sadly, so I too have to use a stylus with my hand hovering, or else I get weird lines and mis-clicks on various UI elements.

The Apple Pencil generates its own signal separate from touch. A stylus does not. Palm rejection is basically ideal with an actual pencil, but not ideal with a touch stylus.

Agree. It's so ridiculously large on the pro, absurd for the use a programmer needs
