Scratching that plug around the nearly featureless edge of the MBP is an extremely unsatisfying experience, especially compared to the old "snick" of a MagSafe plug practically attaching itself.
Form over function is just part of the Apple experience. Next you'll be complaining about how the sharp edges of the MBP cut into your wrists or how your have to use your pinkie to hit some of the touch targets in iOS.
It's a shame apple doesn't make a usb-c cable with a magnetic break at the computer end of the cable.
What would the point of that be? Having a USB-C port provides versatility in function. Having a weird proprietary USB-C cable that hooks onto a proprietary magnetic charging interface doesn't provide a ton of improvement over magsafe (even if it could support other USB-C peripherals with an adapter, who wants a USB drive or other device to snap off with a bit of pressure?)
