Same. When I bought the MacBook, that was one of those things I noticed as “of course it makes sense. Why doesn’t everybody do this?” Then Apple went ahead and took an axe to it. This was truly an idiotic move. Don’t add usbc if you can’t find a way to make it MagSafe!

Opposite here, the magsafe was a constant nuisance, always disconnecting. I like being able to drag the cord with the laptop.

And the laptop with the cord.

This is how you get frayed cords.

I liked the Magsafe connector. But with USB-C, I like being able to connect the power cable from either side.
