Meh, I don't believe them.
Aside from my build quality issues, I'm fine with the low-travel keyboard. I've gotten used to it. I 'solved' some of the build quality issues using a nail file to file down my keys that routinely got "sticky" with the aluminum chassis. Still happens from time to time, but not often.
I was open to the touchbar, but 2+ years later, I mostly agree it sucks, or at least, it's not an improvement over physical keys... and when the thing was sold for $200+ with the touchbar, you expect it to be an improvement.
no one was saying that. stop picking imaginary fights.
There were people saying that when the 2016's first came out. I was a 2016 early adopted who had keyboard issues, though different than others, and mostly everyone told me that I was doing something wrong with the way I typed. Someone on Gaf told me that me hitting space bar iwth my right thumb was what was causing it to get stuck and I should use my left thumb.
At the time, Apple wasn't responding to the problem and they were out of stock for the 2016s, especially my model which was pretty high end so I couldn't return it. Eventually, I "fixed" the problem myself about 6mos later with a nail file. I'm okay with an early adopters tax, but the response to it was what was annoying for me. It wasn't until Apple recognized a problem and said they fixed it in 2017 that people started to widely say "Oh, yeah, the 2016s were very flawed." And then likewise with the 2017s when the 2018s improved the butterfly switches again, everybody acted like the conventional wisdom was the 2016s were deeply flawed. That wasn't the convention in 2016 or 2017.
