I don't use my MBP super often, but I do use it once every week or two, when I really want to sit down and enjoy an Apple product at its finest. Clean desk, relaxing environment only. My uses are as basic as they come, I just like the 15" form factor. Computer is immaculate - has literally never so much as had a spot of spit on the screen. It has only been taken out of the house two or three times. It may as well be a family heirloom the way I treat it.
I bought this brand new from Microcenter last November, and it was one of the very last mid-2015 15" models off the line. Computer was manufactured on July 2nd, 2018, right at the very end of production. I've had no problems. Battery is minty fresh with a mere 13 cycles on it, just from me unplugging it periodically at my desk and giving the battery some use to keep it good. Battery health is 100%.
I had wanted to replace my mid-2010 for years, but the butterfly keyboards kept me away and I kept waiting. With no end in sight, and at the very least getting tired of not having a retina screen, I caved in and bought this machine as a stopgap until Apple sorts it out. I'm glad I did, because I love this machine to death and was so ready to move on from the 2010.
But now we are on the verge of the 16", and serious hints of a keyboard that might actually work. In other words, time for me to play ball and get the machine I really want after waiting a decade. But geez, I sit here on this 2015 and it's just that damn good. It's so good in fact, that it's the base model and I have no complaints with that, despite the fact the last two MBPs I had prior were maxed out BTOs costing north of $3k.
It would almost feel like a complete waste to sell this, it still feels brand freakin new, because, well, it pretty much is.
