I also have the matte black since release day and also my wife does. We both are happy with our choice, we would take again the matte black.
 
Yep. I pre-ordered a JB+ and got a November delivery date. I finally caved a couple of weeks ago and bought a matte just to get rid of a 5C I was using. I convinced myself it was the right decision but couldn't get the JB out of my head. So when JB became available last Friday, I was thrilled to return the matte and get a JB instead.

I think the thread is aimed towards people who ordered matte black originally by choice, not as a compromise...
 
After finally seeing the Jet Black in person, albeit a gorgeous phone, I much prefer the Matte Black. Why Apple designed a phone that will scratch when you breath is beyond me. If you can get past the scratches then the Jet Black is definitely a viable option. Personally, in a years time the back of that phone would look like a kid took keys to it only because I would not put a case on that particular model and I sit my phone on it's back.
