It used to be, not any more.

The 2016 made it so large that it was constantly reacting whilst typing. It was infuriating. I've almost never managed that on the 2015 or earlier models even though I would sometimes touch the touchpad whilst typing. I sold the '16 because of the broken keyboard - but the stupid touchpad and touchbar contributed to my hating the whole machine. Now on a 2015 again.

Even though Apple touchpads were the best I've always preferred a trackpoint to any touchpad, and their keyboards are leagues ahead of anything Apple. Mind even Thinkpad keyboards used to be better. Someone needs to figure out how to fit a Thinkpad keyboard and trackpoint into a Macbook Pro :)
