I do occasionally use the TrackPoint, and agree that generally it’s less precise than a trackpad or mouse. But one critical advantage that I get from it is the fact that I can use a TrackPoint with gloves on, which is great when you’re outdoors in the winter or working with heavy equipment. It’s also a redundancy for if your trackpad stops working (which has also happened to me). So I value it for those reasons and don’t like the fact that it’s being phased out, but otherwise do prefer to use the trackpad.

Woah, nice username. Love how you were able to get it italicized like that

The Samsung Galaxy S5 was a good example of this. The back panel and battery was removable, and the charging port had an extra plastic cover that went on top to protect against water ingress
