Just one data point, I'm very happy with how this worked out.

Unlike Apple's terrible huge proprietary chargers, I now have portable battery packs and cheaper USB-C chargers all over the place that charge both my phone and MacBook Pro, and, best of all, they can go on both sides depending on where I'm sitting. The cables slide out pretty easy so MagSafe isn't even needed IMHO.

I am hugely happy with the new MBP, with having to blast the keyboard with air occasionally being the only irritation.
