Yes, I touch the pad by accident all the time. But why is Apple so good at detecting which touches are accidental, while so many other manufacturers are not?

On Linux this works similarly. ~5 years ago my old laptops did the 'disable touchpad when typing' thing, now with libinput the touchpad has excellent and completely invisible (to the user) anti-false-touch functionality. Apple has invested the time to make great trackpad drivers. People have invested time to make libinput a great driver for Linux (in this regard - it does lack customization possible in older drivers)…

That is fantastic news about Linux. I bought a System76 four or five years ago and the touchpad was terrible. It wasn't just false touches; it was really hard to accurately click on something, the pointer kept making little jumps. Would you say that's better too? If touchpads are good now, then I might go dedicated Linux again when it's time to upgrade from my aging MBP.

Try making an Ubuntu/Fedora USB and booting from it once on your MBP, that should let you see what it's like. I had to explicitly disable the 'disable touchpad while typing' libinput setting but aside from that everything works great out of the box.

What do you base that on? I have had no problem with F# and asp.net core. Just look at safe stack, it uses saturn or giraffe which in turn runs on asp.net. https://safe-stack.github.io/

That this abstractions exists on top asp.net core to make things more ergonomic proves my point.

Not only that but the new interface is becoming just as complex as the old. By the time they have finished they will be back where they started.

Nah, it's pretty simple these days and people who love scripting can use powershell for everything
