I've had a MacBook Pro w/Touch Bar since Dec 2016, and the touch bar has mostly gone unused by me other than the core functions (changing brightness, volume, and ESC and function keys).
The only thing I've used on the TouchBar that I did find very useful was scrubbing in QuickTime when the video is fullscreen.
Still, I would have much rather had a the best spec'd 2016 MacBook Pro wo/TouchBar and physical function and ESC keys.
Edit - And for the record, I love the keyboard over my Mid-2012 MacBook Pro keyboard. No complaints there.
