That is such an essential port for professional hardware. I am also moderately disappointed that they got rid of the removable battery. It seems like Apple is doing this because of an obsession for how their laptops look. I understand this for some of their hardware, but generally professional users want the extra features. Retaining the ExpressCard slot would not harm the laptop any way other than aesthetically. You're killing me Apple. I pretty much just want your operating system to begin with.
