I also have a lot of trouble with the Force Touch trackpad! Everyone else I know seems to have no issue with it, but I'm constantly triggering Force Touch when I don't want to. Add in the fact that Force Touch is pretty useless on the mac (three finger click to define replaces literally my only use case) and it was easy enough to just disable it.
I guess the fact that Apple is ditching 3D Touch on the iPhone might mean the end of Force Touch on the Macbook, too.

I'm on the other end of this spectrum. I don't even click my trackpad, just use the very lightest of feather touches. I think the setting is called "Tap to click," and people that have problems with brushing up against their trackpad should not attempt it.
It's the only way to make a new MBP usable for me. I have to all but disable the damn touchbar.
I also have to disable force-touch on the trackpad to be able to execute all but the shortest of click-and-drag operations. Disabling two of the headliner "advanced" UI features of new MBPs are now very early initial setup steps for me. Machine's toss-it-out-the-window frustrating if I don't.
