Proud to be. Ive been wanting this for a long time.
The only complaint I think Ill have is the one port. A way to charge and to do other things is a big deal to me.
Apple put the fastest fanless system available in it. As the tech grows it will get faster.
But for me, I really only need a basic Ipad system with a good keyboard and trackpad on the road. This is what I need.

You can go in and play with the units in a plastic display thing, just need to reserve to put it on.
Looks like the new Macbook will run Bootcamp.

Why would I not try it on? 
The wait wasn't so bad, 10 minutes.

So not the speediest thing in the world, but I like it so far. Getting used to the keyboard and installing my stuff on now.
So I found in a shop the 512GB model with 1.2 Ghz processor in stock and couldnt wait, so I bought it. I also have on order a 512GB 1.3 Ghz Space Grey model which I got for a discount of $1605 plus tax (usually $1499+150=$1744). Im going to sell it most likely, so if anyone wants to buy it off me let me know and we will talk about it.

I think you're all crazy for jumping on gen 1 of this kind of product. Then again I probably don't have near the amount of disposable income as you guys.
I feel like gen 2 will be 5x better than g1 in this niche. And it'll be worth the wait.
