Actually it's the best keyboard I ever type on. I just loved. I have a 13-inch MacBook Pro Touch Bar at work. It's fast and reliable with every key press.
I completely agree, scrolled through a lot to get to some positive comments. Love the keyboard, especially considering how thin my 13" MBP is (I have a "huge" Windows laptop also, since I work in CAD development, and its keyboard is pretty good too). I do generally dislike the touch bar though (it does have its moments).
One thing I find interesting, is that the first couple dozen of negative comments are from people saying "I left Apple products behind X years/months ago"... Not necessarily people that use Apple products, or this keyboard, daily.
The design has failed not because a majority of users dislike the feel of the keyboard. It's a failure because of, well, the failure rate of said keyboard...
