The lack of an esc key was already a deal-killer, but my current MBP will be my last. Apple seems to have stopped giving any shits *at all* about pro users/developers:https://www.pcmag.com/news/362580/core-i9-macbook-pro-cooling-problems-kill-performance …
In the G5 desktop era, that was "sure, it's overpriced, but you can trick it out". In the intel MBP era, that was usually "you can buy something close enough to the high-end to just squeak by"...but now? Not so much. Neither high end nor well balanced.

The iMac Pro is pretty close to traditional Apple: you can pay an eye-watering amount for some near-top-of-the-line kit in a very nice package and ignore the parts that don't work (swap out kbd & mouse, e.g.). That sort of offer isn't available in their laptops.

In days of yore when desktop was more interesting to me, I pined for a down-the-middle value Mac, but Apple's push for differentiation and profitability steers them away from cookie-cutter value toward premium products. The tradeoff is getting steadily worse for me.
