I really don't understand how companies go about making these decisions sometimes. MagSafe seems like such a simple and elegant solution to me. I understand that USB-C is the future and that with much better battery life I'm sure people aren't leaving their MacBooks plugged in as much as they were in the past, negating some of it's usefulness. I can also accept that on something like the 12" MacBook it might not work well since those are so light weight and thinness/compactness seems to be a selling point, so I get why it was removed.
I would have loved to see Apple include MagSafe charging in addition to USB charging in these new rMBP's. I can't imagine it would have been much of an engineering feat to include both methods of charging and I doubt including a MagSafe charger would have added much cost. Personally I would be willing to lose a USB port in favor of keeping MagSafe.
