How's the Retina MBP heat-wise compared to prior generations of the 15" MBP? That's my only complaint with my 2011 MBP - the thing is an oven on my lap - even with a laptop cooler attached, it's warm.

I multitask pretty heavily (Eclipse, lots of browser tabs, XCode and such) and haven't noticed it getting hot at all.

I've only noticed it getting warm when the NVIDIA card kicks in when a game is running (not an uncomfortable level however).

It is quite an improvement over the late 2011 MBP, but still gets fairly hot. The fans don't seem to engage nearly as often either.

It's better, but still hot.
