    That’s really interesting that you specifically seek out the Touch Bar!

    A lot of people kind of just have it because for several years you couldn’t get a MBP without one… But I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone that would actively enjoy the Touch Bar. You might be part of a very small minority here!

    What is it that makes it useful for you, if I may ask? Do you use some tool like BetterTouchTool to customize the Touch Bar, or do you just enjoy Apple’s stock implementation of it?

      I love the easy volume and brightness changes (tap and just slide your finger) or things like the big red Mute button for video calls. I don’t use BTT but instead use Apple’s own customisation features (you can drag&drop different controls onto the Touchbar when customising toolbars in apps) where I want something different to the defaults.

      Things like typing suggestions and emojis are the icing on the cake.
