The bottom line? It's a decent laptop. It's also an expensive laptop. Is the Touch Bar groundbreaking? Nope. But performance is decent but perhaps will be a little behind where Windows laptops will be in a month or two.
For me this was a big upgrade. I've been working with a four and a half year old Macbook Pro Retina that is really bogging down when it comes to video editing. This new one is much, much faster especially when it comes to exporting video for upload. It was able to export a 17 minute 1080p file in around 9 minutes where my old one took close to a half hour.
The dongle issue is a bit overblown. You will likely need new USB cables and at least one display dongle for external monitors. I do wish there were two more ports on board as one of the USB-C ports is required for power connections.
All in it's a nice upgrade but not a groundbreaking product.
