Was the screen glare always like this? Was it supposed to have gotten better and less glare?

I just got a new nTB MBP 13'' and my eyes hurt from all the glare.

I remember few years ago when I had a MBP 15'' it was also glaring but can't remember this much. I constantly have to move the screen in different angles.

Maybe I got used too much to my matte MB-Air screen in past 2 years?
 
Yeah, I think you've been spoiled by the matte screen. From what I've read, the newer screens may be marginally less reflective, but at least no worse. I miss the matte screen option.
 
yeah i was used to the dingy low res mba screen too. helps to turn up backlight
