I have been using MBP's since they came out with 2011 model...I love them. I love OSX, it's different than a PC, but I'll never be able to go back now with the Screens, and all the great hotkeys. I am kind of in the same boat as you though...I totally want a new MBP, currently using 2013 model...but they are so expensive and almost totally not repairable. I've replaced the hardrive on my current one twice in four years...and I love that I can crack it open and work on it if I need to. I dunno what to tell you. You'd probably love it. They are quite powerful for how light they are, and the OS is incredibly smooth. Specs wise they aren't as powerful as similarly priced PCs, but you probably won't notice that unless you're doing extreme hashing/cracking/video work.

Thank you so much for replying! Yeah, I feel every year they get more and more restricted. Deciding whether to go for the 2015 or 2016 one aswell. Seriously, USB C?!
Actually I am really looking forward to play around with the screens and gestures.
that those are some of the best aspects I think...I use them nonstop. I don't think I could go back. sigh...I'm probably going to bite the bullet and buy a new one sooner or later. Maybe not this year
I honestly think that that is also one of the reasons Apple has a big advantage in. People got so used to their smooth GUI that they can't and hence don't want to go back to windows.
2 Hard drives in 4 years. Sounds like a lousy product to me. Only had one hard drive failure when a storm blew out a surge protector.
yeah, one of them died, the other I upgraded for speed / size. But the idea of not being able to just pop a new hard drive in definitely makes me kind of nervous...not mention I am somewhat offended by the idea of computers that you can't repair yourself....it just seems wrong.
