I'm on the same machine and i feel exactly the same way. It's been used hard for years and actually works BETTER now than when i bought it, with software updates(mountain lion was... questionable). The battery is still healthy, and it still tackles anything i throw at it.

Why would i upgrade to in many ways a crappier computer?

I'm hoping with the new mac pro we get a real macbook pro again. And i'm coming at this from the same place, i've used all different platforms. But this is the best laptop i've ever owned, and my favorite since my old T60. It was the first one that really felt like it not just checked every box, but filled out every corner.

Hah yeah my previous best computer was my IBM T40p. Did a lot of travelling with that and it could take a beating. IBM made some top notch stuff.
