What do you dislike about it?

I haven't really noticed mine.

I use the function keys and escape key - a lot. The lack of even haptic feedback on the touchbar makes it a big downgrade. Having a touchbar just isn't an option.

I use vim and my work-macbook has a touch bar. I haven't really noticed a difference in user experience between the touch-bar version and the physical esc-key on my personal macbook pro without a touch bar.

Before I actually used the touch bar version I also thought that it wouldn't be easy to use, but as I said, I haven't noticed a difference.

Of course you don't. You use ctrl+[ or rebind caps lock to esc, and you don't use F-keys with vim. But outside of vim you might use the F-keys or Mac keys. I know I do. Cause I'm too shit with multitouch.

Thanks, but no I don't. I use the ESC key on the touchbar all the time.

IMO if you're hitting the escape key you're doing it wrong. Remap to caps lock!

I'm a fan of remapping F keys to the numrow as well. But my desktop keyboard is a 60% without F keys anyways. Less for the fingers to move when you use an fn row :)

I accidentally touch keys on it all the time, undoing text I've written, switching tabs while I'm typing, pressing escape and losing something, etc. I can't think of anything positive I've gotten out of it to be honest.

I just like the functionality and feel of actual buttons. It's like the difference between using the iPad software keyboard vs. an actual hardware keyboard to type on. The Touch Bar makes a row of my keyboard worse.

In VSCode, while debugging, I rest my fingers on F10/F11, for Step, Step Into, Step Out, Continue. Does that work with a Touch Bar mac?

Usually the beef is less than the fact that it exists and more to do with the loss of the Esc key.
