This issue (and to be fair, the removal of the escape key (I'm a vim user)) have absolutely kept me from upgrading.

I have a 2018 macbook (from work). I love how fast it is, and the touchID built in. Almost everything else is a regression:

- No USB ports

- No magsafe connector

- Useless touchbar (for me anyway). Actually worse than useless as it disrupts my previous workflows.

- Terrible keyboard even when working to spec.

It's a shame. I still have my 2009 MBP and mid-2013 rMBP and had already budgeted ~$3000 every 4-5 years for a brand new machine. As my 2013 is starting to show it's age I really have no idea what I'd get, but there's no fucking way I give Apple $3000 for a computer I know I don't like.

Wish Lenovo could match up with form factor and screen quality.
