I don't think any part of the old MacBook Pro design was "time-tested" or "popular" though. MagSafe being removed wasn't popular, USB-C ports only wasn't popular, no SD card reader wasn't popular, Touch Bar wasn't popular and the keyboard… Well, the less said, the better. That's part of the reason why the new MacBook Pro was so liked. Apple did a complete 180° and fixed everything that people hated - but they're still selling the hated one.
