A shame they've forced the TouchBar everywhere. Perhaps it is like Sega Dreamcast and the little plugin LCD unit that controllers optionally supported - none of the games really used it because they could never guarantee that it was there, so it was never integral to game.<p>In this instance perhaps Apple thinks that everyone having one will encourage developers to use it.<p>But for me, I completely ignore it and force it to behave like function keys, although it does this very badly because I have to look down to see where the "keys" are when debugging (eg F6, F7 in xcode) because I can't feel them, and also it is completely invisible in daylight, as others have stated.<p>I routinely use my old 2012 MacBook instead to actually get work done because the touchpad is so useless as a keyboard (and turns itself off after a while, unlike REAL keys that don't disappear if you don't give them attention for a minute or two).<p>A real crying shame.
