i'm a regular vim user and my muscle-memory still tells my finger to "press" the ESC button. without that tactile response something just feels a little off. i frequently find myself hitting it a second time while logged into remote terminals over poor connections, as i don't get the immediate visual cue that my ESC has registered. not only that but last week my touchbar became unresponsive (and after various attempts to fix it, is now completely blank), so now i don't even have an ESC button :( so now i've been using Ctrl[ until i get around to remapping ESC. i can't believe the touchbar doesn't drive apple engineers/devs crazy.. regretting replacing my 2014 mbp
