Well, I already have several magsafe charges, monitor adaptors, and a wifi printer, so none of these is much of a concern for me.
I'm more concerned about having to purchase several chargers (we have 5 magsafes in various rooms throughout our house) and adaptors so that we can plug in phones, hard drives, and monitors.
Will I transition eventually? Yes. Does the new MBP make me want to do it now? Not on pricing or features.
I have two types of magsafe chargers, half of the lightning cables in the house don't work because they're clones of a proprietary standard. Monitors are connected with DVI, mini-DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA and none are older than 2008.
I'm relieved that it's like they're finally putting an end to all of the madness. My 2024 computer might offer a lot more protocols, but it finally seems like the physical form factor will be USB C—all of the physical negotiation will be done inside the computer rather than by me attaching an adapter.
