Now with Retina, it seems like everyone's going 15". Is dual core not enough anymore? Or is it the weight difference?

I think we're getting older and the 15" is just more doable as we grow our incomes.
I went from a 13" white macbook to a 15" rMBP about a year and a half ago. It was a good upgrade.
What this guys says. Also, unless you get Lasik (considering it this year depending on finances), having the larger screen def helps as you get older.
TBT, the weight difference between the two is not very significant. I gave my wife my 2013 13' MBPro Retina, and upgraded to a 2014 15' MBPro Retina.

I've seen young college kids replace their 13" MacBooks from 2009 with the new 15" Retina. Apple discontinued the 17" because it wasn't selling. Maybe it's time to bring it back.
i just got a macbook a couple months ago and the 13" was never even on the plate. it's too little and has too little screen real estate for me to get any real work done. as a dev i need all the space i can get.
i'm really loving the multi-desktop though, and with the three finger swipe, it makes switching between them such a breeze. it's very close to being as efficient as having multi monitors set up in a desktop environment.
