The new MacBook Pro has Escape and function keys. You just need to summon them now if you want them. Phil Schiller even showed this in the demo!
Also, context aware actions are much more useful. You saw that they even included a whole set for developers (and XCode) right? And you can bet other tools will soon follow.
> #2 Power. Almost no improvement for RAM and a processor
That it doesnt have a new CPU is not Apple's fault. It's Intels. Apple wants their professional equipment to have at least a quadcore processor. The latest generation Intel processors, Kaby Lake, currently only has dual core processors available which is a absolute disaster for people who actually need fast multicore processing. So because of this they used a Skylake quadcore. Which IMO isnt a disaster since it is still the fastest quadcore x86 CPU architecture out there.
Regarding RAM I think 16 Gigs is more than enough for any purpose.
There might be some useful things in the Xcode set, but anything that can't be done with a shortcut already? I find Cmd+<key> far easier to hit than reaching up to the F-keys. I imagine more-so if that action now has no tactility.
