I actually find more value in the current year's port setup but everybody's needs are different so some will gain, some will lose. I just found the statement in the article to be untrue. I've never used 4 USB-C/TB ports at the same time, even when charging. I have used the same port for charging and HDMI via a dongle though. I also like the SD card slot, even though I mostly use micro-SDs. Depending on how much an SD protrudes on the side, keeping an adapter in permanently might solve for that though.
