Funny how different two people's experiences can be. The magsafe is one of my favorite parts of my macbook (hardware-wise), and I've never had an issue with them connecting correctly.

The one thing I'll miss is you don't really need to aim a magsafe connector, just bring it around the slot and it'll jump in. Not a huge gain though, and probably offset by the ability to plug power on the right side, not have to snake around to the left.
