I never really used the function keys much and I actually quite like the Touch Bar. Especially given that it's readily customizable, it gives me the ability to have an extra bit of information at hand without taking up screen real estate.
Unfortunately I got the 2018 MBP which has no physical escape key. This was initially frustrating as a vim user, but I remapped Caps Lock and now that I've gotten used to that, I quite like it.
The main frustration is that I have the butterfly switches which are indeed terrible. This was after Apple claimed to have fixed them, but I have significant problems with mine and the only way to get it fixed is to send it away for several weeks, which is a very difficult prospect.
