I'm a huge fan of BetterTouchTool. I even bought a SiriRemote ($99!) just to tinker with it after BTT implemented support.

However the TouchBar is just a UI deadend. We are trained to not look down at our keyboards. My BTT shortcuts for the trackpad and MM are completely memorized so my eyes keep focus on the screen and work in front of me. I can't not do the same for the Touchbar with its changing contextual visual shortcuts. I have to glance down to confirm the context and the shortcuts. Glancing down at the touchbar means breaking concentration. Even if Apple adds haptic feedback in V2 it doesn't solve the fundamental problem of glancing away from my main screen to a tiny touchstrip. T

he touchbar is simply a crutch until the iPad wins or Apple makes a full touchscreen Mac. It's a waste of time. I'd much rather Apple have continued to implement the trackpad haptic feedback controls into the rest of their apps.
