I only use it for volume control, and auto-fill emojis.
Not much besides Spotify and a few other shortcuts
I opted out when I upgraded right after college. Just seemed like a volatile and overpriced addition with no crazy functionality I needed. Did not want it to be the downfall of my computer at some point. Honestly, seemed cumbersome to cycle through little bars to get to simple functions I loved having hard keys for, too. Missing the “old” apple lol
Download and buy better touch tool. Can customize the buttons and hook to Alfred for things like to do items. Much more useful than the ootb functionality which is generally worthless. I keep the volume and brightness slides always visible so I don’t have to click twice to adjust.
Spotify
The latest 2019 MBPs have a physical escape key back. I use the Touch Bar to speed through videos for playback or edit, but that’s it. It seems to just be a gimmick and doesn’t make up for a lack of a touchscreen, though Apple probably wants you to buy an iPad for that. You can also remap another key to have the Esc function if you really want it.
Don’t spend extra for a Touch Bar if the model you want can be acquired without it.
My work computer is the MBP with Touch Bar. Use the Touch Bar for volume control only. My personal laptop is the 2012 MBP. I’m going back to Windows when I retire my personal. Have no use for USB-C and I refuse to buy dongles.
Volume control
Esc, F1-F12
To display the F1-F12 keys on the Touch Bar, hold down the Fn key.
In some applications, you may be able to default the TB to these keys: https://www.imore.com/how-make-function-keys-default-touch-bar-display
