Worse thing (for me) about the retina screen is that it's optimal resolution is 1280x800 (@2x) rather than 1440x900. You can force it to scale to other resolutions, but then the "virtual" pixels no longer map nicely to the retina pixels, with blurry results.

On the new MacBook the optimal resolution is actually 1152x720 but it's set to a scaled 1280x800 by default. Sneaky move by Apple there.
