The touch bar is an interesting concept, but I hardly use it as a new Mac user (got a MacBook pro for the first time ever this year), as cool as I thought it was at first.
I wish it had a few features to improve the experience:
- ability to lock an app. It would be nice to have zoom controls available like unmute when I don't have zoom window active
- hard buttons, with led screens. This would make things like debugging easier where I need to hit the "step over" button repeatedly
- easier customization without paid apps or scripting. I can only change a few defaults around
I think the touchbar would have been vastly more useful as a companion app for iPhone and iPad. As implemented, I can't afford to become used to it even if I wanted to unless I plan to be not just on a Mac, but specifically on a MacBook Pro with no external keyboard most of the time.
