@phoneboy Wouldn't the lack of the Touch Bar mean that you had no access to the F1–F12 keys? I suppose you would have used an external keyboard, though.
The thing that bothered me most about the Touch Bar (aside from its unfortunate lack of utility) was that you couldn't control the brightness, as I recall. Well, Apple has decided it wasn't a good idea anyway… an unfortunate failed experiment, like their butterfly keyboards. Nice idea on paper.
