Was clipping the power cable a big problem? I've never done that with a laptop, but have found the brittle MagSafe connection to be an almost daily annoyance since it was introduced.
I think it probably speaks to how 'mobile' you are with your laptop, either walking around in an office or even just actual traveling etc. I liked that it was easily detachable without any thought. Now I'll have to worry about whether or not the port will get loose over time if I aggressively pull it out at angle, etc.
