if Apple had added an additional USB 2.0 port, that would have been better, than just removing the Firewire port altogether and leaving just two USB 2.0 ports. I would need a hub if I were to upgrade to this MacBook, which now I don't plan to do. I'll just be using my Dec '06 MacBook for a few more years I guess, which isn't really a bad thing either as it is a very nice Mac indeed.

The less ports the better. Ports look ugly. If you have that many peripherals that need to be attached at the same time, a hub is probably best.
