I have a 13" Retina MacBook Pro (2014) and a MacBook Air (2015), having previously worked on 14", 15", and 17" Linux and Windows laptops. My computers get smaller as the years go on, and I like that.
My MBP is the best computer I've ever worked on (and am typing this on). I've used my girlfriend's 15" MBP and I vastly prefer my 13".
I use BetterSnapTool[1] for window management: browser on the left half, SublimeText in the upper right 2/3 of the screen, and Terminal in the lower right 1/3 of the screen. It works great for me, and I can't imagine that another 2 inches would make much of a difference.
At work, I dock to a 24" Dell monitor of some sorts, and that's more than enough extra real estate for me.

Thanks. :) It's a pretty simple solution, I just took a fairly common IDE setup and configured my snap tool to let me easily put my windows where I need them.
