I thought this was a joke as I haven’t used a recent Mac in a while but apparently it’s not. There really isn’t an escape key!

It's extra fun when touchbaragent hangs and you can't force quit anything

Personally, I just remapped capslock to esc, since I never use capslock. The touchbar does seem to hang more often nowadays, though. Especially when I'm trying to adjust the volume.

I remapped capslock to escape, which simultaneously gives me back a useful key and gets rid of a useless one :P

They are basically telling us "You can't escape our future"

Not a physical one, but the hit area on the TouchBar for Esc is actually larger than the physical key was. As much as people like to complain, in my experience the Esc key is extremely easy to hit.
