My feeling is that Apple have basically decided to pursue a "fashionable" path, rather than actually considering design as they used to (and also have abandoned their professional market). (1) getting rid of magsafe is a PITA; (2) USB-C is a PITA; (3) I think my MBP is the last one in which I can replace the hard-drive (or take it out if my logic board fails).

I agree on the build quality - they are still really nice laptops, but the price increase and trajectory of bad design in general (I think that without Steve Jobs steering him, Jonny Ive is incapable of producing genuinely groundbreaking work, and is instead coming up with some really egregious rubbish) are making me feel like jumping ship.

Likewise with OSX: the main reason I use OSX (oh, sorry, macOS) is not the OS itself anymore (which I used to love) but more the apps I can't really do without (basically just Alfred and 1Password) - for everything else I spend most of my time in the terminal.
