I do occasionally use the TrackPoint, and agree that generally it’s less precise than a trackpad or mouse. But one critical advantage that I get from it is the fact that I can use a TrackPoint with gloves on, which is great when you’re outdoors in the winter or working with heavy equipment. It’s also a redundancy for if your trackpad stops working (which has also happened to me). So I value it for those reasons and don’t like the fact that it’s being phased out, but otherwise do prefer to use the trackpad.
