What’s your usecase for it? My work laptop has one and I use it to change the brightness of my screen and to lock it. That’s it. I really miss the physical escape key, especially when using vim...

- One tap to enter Picture-in-picture mode in Safari when watching YouTube.

- Choosing an emoji in WhatsApp Desktop.

- Pausing and seeing a podcast's listening progress in Apple Podcasts, even when the app is in the background.

- Compiling in Android Studio.

I have a physical ESC key, so I don't have a problem with the touchbar.

How do you have a background app's control in the TouchBar so that the foreground app's controls are not displayed?

You may already know this, but you can remap your Caps Lock to escape if you don't use it (System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys). It keeps you on home row too, which is nice for vim.
