The new models may look better on a store shelf, but not when you have dongles hanging off of them.
The 2015 models had a couple of Thunderbolt ports, a couple of USB3 ports, a card reader, and even HDMI. All I need is the laptop and power brick.
If I bought a new MBP 13, I'd need to also carry the multiport digital AV adapter and SD card reader. I think the volume and weight of the dongles probably exceeds the savings from the thinner laptop design. And they're certainly less convenient.
