I would consider myself somewhat of a power user but I still rarely use the Track point now that track pads have gotten much better. The Track point is nice to use when imaging one though since it works even when the ThinkPad doesn't have trackpad drivers

I never got the nub. It's way too imprecise to get anything done. It seems to be there just for branding at this point.

I believed the memes and got excited when my work provided me a Thinkpad.

The nub is garbage, even worse than the trackpad. Good riddance.
