Intel and Apple have gotten out of sync lately. I think this time is worse than usual due to the butterfly keyboard issue.

Apple's size and the fact they are using the butterfly type keyboard throughout their laptop lines, means that inertia in deciding to make a change and then implementing it throughout their manufacturing chain is a fraught and time consuming process.

will i get burned at the stake if i say i actually like the butterfly keyboard?

I like it too - at least as well as the previous keyboard, and assuming it continues to function.

I also spend a lot of time working on my laptop outdoors though, and every time I get something under a key I hold my breath a little as I shake my laptop upside down, hoping that this isn't the time that it finally fails permanently and I have to send the whole machine back to Apple to replace a single key.

Nah. I like it, too. Everything about it on paper says I should hate it, but there's something about it I really enjoy.
