Exactly my complaints. Awful and notoriously unreliable keyboard. The missing HDMI and USB-A are also stupid but at least it can be solved with a dock or dongle.

Broken keyboard cannot be solved, and they break all the time.

Lets hope the 16” 2019 will fix at least the keyboard...

I'd suggest that "solved with a dock or a dongle" is just as awful a fix as "why not bring a usb keyboard with you".

I always argue that Apple went with USB-C a little too early, but it IS the future.

More and more monitors now support it, and a single cable to both charge your laptop, and extend your laptop to the display is a killer feature.
