Should I use MacBook Pro plugged in all the time?

well that is your experience. You are deteriorating your battery by keeping the charge full.

Sure am, that's why it still works just fine after 3 years.

Lets just say you molly coddle it, only discharging it once a month and holding onto the power cord like a baby grabbing their pacifier. The best possible outcome would be that after 3 years (come failure time) it still holds 100% (very unlikely). But what use is that to you, if you're never ever using that capacity anyway. The old saying "you can't have your cake and eat it" comes to mind. (Although in reality I suspect no matter what you do you can't have your cake, something else will eat it if you don't :/).

Haha this is a great comment. You can't have your cake and eat it too! I find we'll spend more time worrying keeping the battery healthy even though it will last the same amount of time whether we coddle it or not.
