I do, a little, and wouldn't say this is absolutely great. Nevertheless this seemingly proved to do much more good than evil. We would probably still have different power and data cables for every phone model if the EU didn't do this with USB-micro-B (I always wondered how did Apple manage to evade this for so long, even though I actually feel like Lightning and MagSafe are the best connectors phones and notebooks respectively ever had).
Nevertheless I am excited about the rumors Apple is going to bring MagSafe back in the upcoming model of MacBooks. Perhaps they could do the way it's done in HP EliteBook - it can be charged both through a barrel adapter (could be MagSafe in case of Apple) and through USB-C (i.e. by a Thunderbolt dock).
The only flaw of MagSafe I have to acknowledge is their ultra-thin cable is extremely vulnerable and you can't easily put a heat-shrink tube on it because the receptacle is so many times bigger.
