I won't argue that it might be the best thing about a Mac, but at the same time it isn't a great feature. They get dirty way too often and will lose contact, the size difference between old and new always bites me (my wife has the older size), and I've never seen a time where it saved my laptop (and I have four crazy kids running around and work remotely some).

It doesn't apply to a lot of people, but I have a mobility disability that makes plugging into ports difficult or impossible without getting someone to help. With MagSafe I really appreciate just lining up the cable imprecisely and letting magnetism do the rest.

There was a Kickstarter a while back for a Magsafe-like solution for USB-C. You might want to check it out if you haven't seen it already. Wish I remembered the name...

I like it, but leaving a dongle there all the time is dangerous, so you'll end up taking it out and back in every time, defeating much of the convenience. Still good for safety though.

The size change was really unfortunate, that has been a pain in the butt. But other than that, I disagree. I find magsafe works great and has saved my laptop many times.
