I do miss the track point controller. It’s kinda like hardware vim: difficult to learn to work with, so majority of people don’t. But once you do, it’s an absolute killer.
This might be blasphemous but after being thinkpad exclusively for the past 13 years (and my first thinkpad was in 98) but I find myself using the touchpad more and more when I'm not on my external trackpoint keyboard.
Not quite sure why, might be due to slightly dodgy Linux experiences (x240 dodgy buttons and then now my sensitivity on X1 gen 9 is a bit touch and go)
That said for regular point and click the touchpad is good enough. Tho when working there is no substitute for not leaving the homerow
It might be multi-finger gestures maybe? I use those a LOT on touchpad for scrolling, panning and dragging. Back when I was using Touchpoint, the trackpads weren’t capable of this, if I remember correctly. And they were like 2x3 cm in size anyway.
