Yeah which ports are folks actually missing here? Looking at various ports.
Magsafe: This has returned on the new machines. I like it for the green / orange charge indicator.
RJ-45: Ok I kinda of get it, but it’s such a tall port. Personally I’d prefer a thinner laptop in this instance.
Mini DVI: long dead. Replaced with HDMI. The MacBook pro’s have HDMI
FireWire: long dead
USB A: Replaced with USB-C. Ok one A port here would still be useful.
Headphone / Mic: Still there, just as a combo port on the other side.
SD card reader: The MacBook Pros have this.
Mini Display port: Long dead.
In short if you want HDMI and SD card reader and are anti dongle you get a MBP which has both.
Either way now have ports that can push insane bandwidth and route USB, PCI, HDMI and DP over the same cable which is incredibly versatile.
