| From a 50-year old user's perspective, while I love the extra real estate, I deplore the higher resolution when we have no user control over scaling the interface. I sold my 30" Cinema Display and now use three 24" monitors instead. I really thought this was a problem that would be solved by now, but using a high-resolution display means I basically have to work with reading glasses on, which is not my first choice. I'm really surprised that there isn't a "UI scale" slider in all applications, to let a user fine-tune an application to their native resolution at a custom scale.
