This is just another run of the mill update to me. I'm a developer and sys admin in research computing and to me, everything they removed I never used anyways. F-keys? Practically never use them, I much prefer keyboard shortcuts that allow me to stay closer to home row. Lack of ports? I never use them on my MacBook anyways so I don't really care Lack of power? All my heavy computing is done on remote compute clusters

Not to say that my needs are homogenous or anything. I guess my point is, from my perspective, this update isn't some catistrophic failure on apple's part, and it actually fits my needs as a professional quite well. That being said, I will definitely not buy the new MBP. My late 2011 MBP still runs flawlessly and does everything I need on the go. All I'd really want out of a new laptop is for it to be as small and light as possible. For me, the point of a laptop is to be portable, not some do-it-all machine that can hold all of Wikipedia in RAM at once
