I don't own a MBP, but why do people hate the Touch Bar so much??
The only problem I've had with it personally is accidentally hitting it when I'm typing numbers or special characters. Other than that it works fine.
I really wish 3rd party app developers would take advantage of the Touch Bar, but now that we have news that Apple is sacking it, developers have even less incentive than before. The only apps that make good use of the Touch Bar are from Apple.
