No. I may be an outlier but for me its more fluid and faster to hit a physical tactile always visible down button 3-4 times then to tap and hold a non tactile icon and slide my finger down. I'd imagine I'd eventually get used to this if I really had to. It's arguable as to what makes more sense and I'm really not one to be set in my ways and consider myself easily adaptable but my gut tells me that a physical volume button that has to be tapped repeatedly requires less mental effort than what the current touchbar iteration offers.

If you tap the < button to expand the control strip, you get the classic volume up / volume down buttons. Also, as I just discovered, if you tap the volume button to get the slider, you can actually tap the icons on either end of the slider which will act like the classic volume up / down buttons too (even though they don't look like buttons).

Good tip... thanks.
