The "old" trackpads always felt like they required too much force. Actual click versus tap click is like fingers on a chalkboard for me. Obviously a very personal preference.

Why so hung up on no physical click?

For me, it isn't that I like it, but it just doesn't work for me the other way. I don't want to use my left hand to click the bottom of the trackpad, and I don't want to move my right hand finger down to the bottom corner to click, either. Some people might just mash on the thing but that's not for me. So I use the taps. When I replace the current MBP with one that has the new trackpad, taps will be off.
I'm equally puzzled by this hate for "tap to click". I use both of them, I honestly don't see what the problem is. If it wasn't for tap to click, my mom's busted MBP trackpad would be useless.

Exactly. Tap to Click is the lazy person's click
