TBH I'd love to have Touch Bar but improved with haptic feedback, making it much more useful.
It helped me a lot while debugging and loved the customization it offered for the "static" keys on the right, but having no haptic feedback always caused me to miss the button unless I stared at it, killing the purpose greatly.
Haptic feedback, and also elimination of the lag. It often takes >100ms for the bar to respond, which makes a quick adjustment to the sound slider impossible.
The lag truly makes it unusable. Trying to mute? Hit the mute button. Did it register and is just laggy? Or just missed the tap altogether? Why have an always-on touchbar that doesn't even respond to taps consistently.
Yup, agreed. Those were solvable problems though, and really easy ones. The bar itself would have benefited from ProMotion for example: be super responsive while touching/dragging sliders, and stay at 10Hz or even less when static. Couple it with haptic feedback and I'm pretty much sure that many would love it. It had great potential but they killed it.
