The whole notch thing is getting boring now. Move on ffs. Ive has been fundamental to apples success for years. How quickly some forget.

If Apple delivers on its promise of upgradable and repairable Pro systems next year most of the Ive vitriol from the Pro community will go away.
Their consumer line of products does look amazing but they’ve screwed the pooch with their Pro line of products for years now. The 2016 MacBook Pro sealed the deal for many Pro users who started buying the older MacBook Pros in droves. Meanwhile Pro desktop users haven’t had a good Pro desktop system since the last Cheese Grader was released. That’s just unacceptable from a company who has been emphatically saying it still values and is designing for Pro users.
The Come to Jesus session with the media was the right thing to do. Apple admitted its mistakes and bought themselves through 2018 with those Pro users who remain Apple customers or who’ve left but are willing to consider Apple again if they deliver.

Ive is simply coasting on a reputation that has long since passed him by and nothing more.

Since 2013 upgradeable and repairable are not in Apple's vocabulary.

Must say our team are largely using the cylindrical Mac pros for audio work. They’re actually really great machines. Super solid, flawless performance with an external OWC Thunderbolt drive enclosure and RME audio interface. Much more consistent and robust compared to the iMacs we were playing with. Easier to travel with, quieter, and faster than the cheese grater MAC Pros we had before, though I must admit we still have a few of those for workstations cause they never die and can still hold their own. Mostly.
IMO, the cylinders don’t get enough love.

I'd agree with that. We're looking for evidence that the pendulum will actually swing back, that for pro users function will outbalance form again, rather than what we've been seeing -- not a pendulum, but a ratchet, where each year's releases are that much less useful for pro users.
I'm one of those; I replaced my laptop about a month ago, and I decided that the single best argument for the 2015-issue 15" MacBook Pro was the 2016-issue 15" MacBook Pro.
There really was just one key problem with the Coke can, which was the issue of graphics. If what you were doing is compute-heavy but not graphics-heavy, I understand that it's very much a reasonable machine -- but the hard ceiling of the graphics problem was allowed to turn into a hard ceiling of *any* improvement.
