    No, not really to be honest. I use the Touchbar for unlocking with TouchID (and accessing 1Password)... Oh and autofill in Safari form fields.

      So it's fairly useful, the touch bar? It seems gimmicky and a waste of real estate.

        Useful is a stretch in my experience but it has potential. I would wait a year before I would call it a failure.

        TBH all the function keys were a waste of real estate. I used them almost never, and when I did it was for all the extra gubbins they’ve added to them, like brightness controls etc.

          See I disagree. I use the brightness, volume, and media keys all the time so I don't think it was wasted real estate.
