If you're on macOS, absolutely. Linux, maybe not. It's really hard for me to go back to a non-retina screen. I'm using a 2018 15" MBP which ships with a default scaled resolution of 1680x1050 which upscales the screen and in my opinion isn't as clear as the 1:1 pixels of 1440x900 (the native screen resolution being 2x that at 2880x1800). The crispness is worth the lack of real estate. Sharpness is definitely worth having.
