For the love of God give us a pro option with a real keyboard and without the stupid touch bar.

touch bar is fine- it just CANNOT be used to replace actual buttons that matter- like ESC!

So gosshake, they didn't even put the stinking ESC in the same place, they had to indent it, ruining the billion times I've trained my hand to it.

My relationship with Apple at this point is like a homeless kid who got adopted by a nerdy eccentric parent in 2002, who taught me UNIX and gave me a little place to code; but lately that parent has been off listening to music with people who don't care about any of this, and when I ask this metaphorical parent for something I need, they wave their hands at me without looking and say "yeah, yeah, there's some new lap…

My story is that Windows was getting on my nerves and Linux didn't have the creative software that I wanted, so I sought refuge in macOS, which turned out to be better for programming and content creation than anything I had ever used in my life.

And then Steve Jobs died and Apple abandoned that user segment in favour of the iPhone. I think Jobs saw Mac as his brainchild and refused to neglect it, whereas Tim Cook has no such emotional attachment to it.
