I've owned a MacBook Pro 2016 for about 4 months now and here is my touch bar utilization:

70% Escape key

20% Audio slider

10% Brightness slider

I use Final Cut Pro X a lot too, but its touch bar enhancements are inefficient compared to just using your mouse or hot keys, so I never use them.

Yes, touch bar is a flop (to me). Otherwise, I absolutely love my MacBook Pro.

My thoughts precisely. TouchID is neat, but it's a little slow compared to an iPhone home unlocking, and most days rarely need to use it at all since I'm wearing an apple watch that automatically unlocks the mac anyway.

My utilization didn't factor in TouchID, since it's technically not part of the touch bar OLED and is separate.

I do like TouchID and use it for log in.

What did you upgrade from?

I upgraded from a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro Retina
