Microsoft is falling into similar traps that befell Sears and GM. They all get too complacent at their height and senior management made blunder after blunder which allow competition to sweep in and take over.

Mini DisplayPort is a standard (as of DisplayPort 1.2). Hopefully Apple (and the entire industry) will quickly transition to Thunderbolt 3 with Type-C.
I'm the only one who uses the ethernet port on their MBP at work (802.11ac rocks) and even then it is a rare thing (network config/testing).

I wish we could abandon full size Displayport entirely - it's bigger than the mini port, adds nothing, and physically feels a bit clunky IMO. Consumer devices went to mini (if anything), and business machines went to full size (though those laptops are moving to mini as well).
Ethernet though... you don't think it's important until you randomly need it (router issues, corporate environments, whatever). I don't need a ridiculously thin machine, just leave it alone. Never had that issue with no DVD drive though, fwiw.

That took me on a trip down memory lane.
