I miss, dearly, being able to throw more RAM and bigger SSDs in my retina -- especially since the machines last so long that prices fall substantially over course of ownership.

My eyes would hate me for going back in DPI though -- I even had to switch my desktop monitors out, its just that much less eye strain for me.

128GB/8GB is enough for me for now.

Retina on my iPhone SE is a major plus because it has a smaller screen and I hold it closer, 8" away. On a laptop, I'm reading 24" away. I'm not saying Retina on the MBP isn't nice. But price/USB/retina/weight/memory/storage in totality came out in the Air's favor. If Apple had kept USB and not jacked the price, I probably would have bought another MBP.
