You know what would have made developers happy? Regular refreshes on the cheese grater tower. THAT IS ALL ANYONE HAS EVER WANTED. Nope, we get a trashcan that is over priced, can't be upgraded, and also still gets zero updates.

The cheese grater mac was really incredibly designed. it's a shame they decided to limit things with the trashcan one. apple if you are listening please let people upgrade or at least replace parts when something goes bad in the desktop line. don't make the desktop a huge ipad.
Agree - Looks like Apple has listened and they are working on a new modular Mac Pro machine : https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/05/apples-2019-imac-pro-will-...
“Modular” might mean “you can plug in a bunch of things with Thunderbolt”, mind you.
They already did that with the "can" pro design and they said this will be different and more upgradable.
Possibly, but I doubt it.

Apple has acknowledged that the trashcan design was a mistake.
