Certainly my cursive is harder to read. Growing up in US public schools cursive was mandatory in ~5th grade in my district. Then shortly after (6th grade? 7th?) it became optional and the vast majority of my peers quit writing it I persiste

I use it, and have a mb with touch bar. Using solely the laptop keyboard was fine. Transitioning between the laptop keyboard and an external was not. I ended up adding a binding for "jk" to exit editing mode. Very pleased
