I just got one last night. I am overall very impressed, although I agree that it really is jarring to hit an app that's not designed for Retina.

Have you tried running the native resolution? It gives you tons of real estate and avoids the retina compatibility problem, assuming your vision is good enough :)

You can't get the native resolution from system preferences, but there are some utilities that make it pretty convenient to get at it: http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/18/3-ways-to-run-a-retina-macboo...

I recommend SetResX on that page, it's free and works really well, and just sits in your menu bar. Just watch out on the downloads page, there are a bunch of ads that look like the download link, make sure you get the right one.

I just tried it- everything is comically small :) Do you run at 2880x1800?

I've settled on 1680x1050 for browsing and jump up to 1920x1200 for coding.

I can use it at 2880x1800 when I'm sitting down at a table and can sit still close to it, but it's too small for casual use. I've mostly been using 1920x1200. It is impressive though!
