Personally, I hate it. Most of my laptops are non touch: thinkpads, dells. .Even when ram price drops and i could afford the Framework, i would only go for the non pro 13 version. For the ones that came with touchscreen, I disabled it if i can.

Touchscreen just doesnt work for me on a laptop. If i want a touchscreen then i use my tablet or phone.

Have you tried a Mac trackpad? Those are so good it might make you change your mind.

This. There are two kinds of trackpads not made by Apple. Those that try to be as good as the Apple one and those that don't. I have more experience with the ones who don't, as I'm sure is the case with the person you replied to.

As to the other type... I imagine they're a bit better. Bigger surface area, multi-touch gestures, might even have a trick the Apple one doesn't, but still wouldn't be quite as good.
