I don't know what your experience buying computers has been, but my 2012 MBA was the best I'd ever owned. The 2015 MBP was worse, the 2018 MBP I owned was worse than that. The Thinkpad X1 carbon I bought after that was the best I've ever owned, and every time I see my wife struggling with her Macbook I'm glad I finally ditched that rubbish.

Why was the 2015 MBA worse than the 2012 for you? They're basically the same design, and of course the 2015 would be more powerful in absolute terms.

(My primary laptop is a 2014 MBA, and I previously owned ones from 2012 and 2015.)

Sorry I wrote MBA, I meant MBP - it had the terrible keyboard, I also went for a low end CPU and it really felt worse than my 2011 where I max'd out the CPU.

Was it just the butterfly keys, or some other things too?
