Same here, had to stop using the trackpoint (after maybe 10-15 years of heavy usage). And macbook trackpads are awesome.

Same. I used to be ride-or-die for my Thinkpad Trackpoint™ keyboards, I even had an external USB one. Eventually I started to feel the RSI in the top of my hand. Haven't had any issues with a Macbook trackpad.

It's all about not doing the same thing, whatever that same thing may be. I switch between trackball and mouse as each one gets a bit uncomfortable.

I'm also convinced that trackpoints themselves are stiffer and less comfortable to use than they used to be in the older thinkpads
