We're approaching the 1 year anniversary of the release of the Touch Bar Macbook Pro. Plenty of us have used it for quite a while and have become acclimated to it. I want to get a feel of how people are using it and how much they're enjoying it.

Honestly, I barely use it. Sometimes I wish I had regular function keys, but more often than not, I'm indifferent.
 
Here's what mine looks like:

I set my system up over a number of full-screen Spaces. One for DevonTHINK, one a combo of Mail and OmniFocus, one for BusyCal, one for TweetBot, and one general desktop for browsing etc. I can use three-finger swipes to move between them all or just press the appropriate touch bar buttons to go to the most commonly used apps. I also have one for entering commonly used text snippets and I show the date and time for good measure. This works really nicely for me. YMMV!
