I see no one here making the claim that it is good.

However, planned obsolescence has been Apple's MO for as long as I can recall.

They are a hardware company, after all, and selling you new hardware is exactly how they make revenue.

Bottom line really is - if you want a developer-oriented laptop (with many high performance CPU, GPU, RAM, Disk and I/O Port options), Apple isn't really the place to get it. Apple is a consumer hardware company.
