Why is everyone so upset about the new MacBook Pro?

I've been happily using Macs for 14 years. I routinely do things like burn DVDs, plug in USB and FireWire devices, use external displays, transfer photographs from cameras, etc.

I may be content with a current Mac, but it seems to me that the path Apple is on is moving away from what I personally want. I remain presently undecided, but I am starting to consider non-Apple alternatives for my next computer.

I'm not mad, though. Things change. I wish I could still realistically be using Commodore Amiga computers, but I'm not.

I never owned one, but I used one briefly. I had some other brands of genlock, video capture, & video editing software, and used Imagine 3D and Brilliance for 2D graphics. It's been so long now, I don't remember the details of the other items. I got an Amiga planning to do software development on it, but became engrossed in multimedia production instead...
