Agree almost 100% with TheWizard.
The SEL has capacitive buttons, but they're raised so there is tactile feedback that you've touched it, and the sound should let you know it registered. MFT works, I have not run into any bugs yet, and I like the functionality (text message notifications on the center stack mean I never take my phone out of my pocket any more, for example) but touch screen interfaces for basic functions (HVAC - I like the foot well vents for heat, for example, and there's no way to switch to that without multiple presses on the flat feedback free display that requires you to look at it) are dumb. And I have to keep cycling the cluster displays to see tach / temp / fuel (is there digital speed readout anywhere?) while the right side is basically useless to me, I just keep the compass displayed all the time. One of the advantages of the Mazda CX-9 that was competing with the Edge in our buying decision was that the radio / navigation was touch screen, but the HVAC was standard switch gear.
In a mild defense of Ford, no one seems to have gotten the touch screen interface right, which to my mind is then damning, and perhaps should indicate that the touch screen belongs on your tablet or phone, and not on your instrument cluster / HVAC controls.
As always, your mileage may vary
