I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
The giant touchpad on my 2020 model does the thing where when you're typing you suddenly find the cursor has moved to another window and you're writing in your calendar instead of your browser. The more reasonably-sized touchpad on my 2015 model did the same. I do not expect Apple to have fixed this if they've made the pad even bigger.
I don’t know how the 2020 one was but it doesn’t seem terrible on this one. But, I also mostly use it docked and haven’t used it as a laptop too much yet.

Yeah, I use mine with external everything too :)
