I do for one. I have capslock mapped to Ctrl. Of course, I started in EMACS and got sucked into vim and had already gotten used to the capslock as Ctrl.
Why choose? When I hold down caps lock, it acts like CTRL. When I hit it once, it acts like ESC.
I like physical keys, tyvm, and don't see the touch bar making any significant improvement in my workflow. Vim without a physical escape key sounds like hell.
Even if I did like it, it's always wise to wait for revision 2 of any new Apple hardware. First revisions are known for being overpriced, under-featured, and buggy.
Plus, my next laptop will have 32GB RAM.
Nah. Already pretty happy with my Dell XPS 13 running Fedora Linux. I imagine it'll be a couple of years before distros really take advantage of the 3200x1800 screen anyway. Besides, no one who uses Vim is gonna be happy to see the physical Esc key go away.
People who use Vim usually re-map caps-lock to ESC at a minimum, and possibly other uses. Mine is esc by itself, ctrl with any other key. I do remap the function bar right now, though. That will take some getting used to.
And remapping your vim shortcuts is great - when you're not constantly logging in to new instances or (don't ask) sharing logins with co-workers.
No. Not even if I were in the market for an upgrade. I like physical keys, tyvm, and don't see the touch bar making any significant improvement in my workflow.

Got a tool that will do that on os x sierra? I used to us karabiner, but that's hosed by the updated until they can get elements cleaned up.

I keep seeing posts about remapping but I honestly don't get it why users should be forced to hacks and compromises to replace functionality which had no reason to be removed in the first place.

And I like physical function keys for other purposes too.
The "low end" 13" MacBook Pro _with_ F-keys seems like a suitable more powerful MacBook alternative. The touchbar seems too gimmicky.
I do like the fact that it supports up to 5K displays, but I will need to save up to buy the display first. =)
32G :( I'm going to replace my somewhat-aging Air because its 8G isn't really close to what I need, although it's been surprisingly capable. The touch bar is gimmicky, but I want it--it's more versatile than the keyboard mapping/macro games I play now. I won't use it the way most consumers do, but I'll definitely use it.
Yeah 16 gig is what i have now.. it's starting to become a problem. I'd like 64 better.
