My thoughts exactly.
I haven't had any further issues with the keyboard on my MBP—only because it's been covered with a silicone keybaord skin, preventing anything from actually coming in contact with it.
And I hate it. The things never fit properly (I've tried four so far), always tending to bunch up on one end or the other, and much like putting a case on an iPhone, what's the point of Apple going to such lengths to create something that you want to touch, but is obviously so prone to damage you never actually get to?
After living with this computer for three months now and knowing what I do, if I had a chance to go back to last May, I definitely would've purchased the 2015 model—with the old keyboard design and no Touchbar—when I had the opportunity. The Touchbar remains of dubious utility and the fact that I have to put a condom on the keyboard to ensure that it works when I need it to work is ridiculous.
