"And as a heavy vim user, I really don’t need a physical escape button for sure". Is that a complaint? There is a feature I don't need in my specific circumstances - but which is widely necessary for other people - therefore the product is bad? The escape button isn't niche like the touch bar - seems like a real stupid thing to complain about.


I am working with vim for about 18 years now, I won't change my preferences just because some smartass decides that a sparkling fun touch bar will be better for me.


And now we all know who has never used vim. ;)

A vim user needs the esc key approximately as often as the Enter key.


...or likely has it mapped to Caps Lock.
