I cant believe that they removed it....
Apple's big thing is removing genuinely useful things in favor of much less useful "improvements." See also:
-The ORIGINAL MagSafe
-Headphone jacks
-The text selection magnifier (which FINALLY came back)
-The "Time since last full charge" method of battery reporting
-The spinny wheel time picker (which returned much sooner than expected)
-3D Touch. Yes, I used it all the time. Extremely handy and an innovative way to interact
