Not for me. (Addressing the general industry trend)
The way I see it, taking a feature away needs to be justified with some proportional advantage.
The parts themselves are pretty cheap, so the only argument against the port is space. Apple did not use the space for anything useful (same battery , same features , more expensive). I have heard water proofing as an argument, but many manufacturers can do both & the jack is more useful than water proofing to me.
As I see it, manufacturers took a away a relatively useful feature for nothing in return.
The decision was very much guided by greed, and that very much irks me.
