"You only need Firewire if you plan on using your notebook for video editing and transferring your data from your camera to the computer, right?"
Is that an unusual thing for people to do with a consumer laptop? Especially one with iMovie'08 included, which Apple dumbed down to be just a YouTube uploading tool.
BTW you also need FireWire for high speed external drives, and Target Disk Mode.
"i think i'm going to get a regular macbook just because of the no firewire thing."
You should go for a refurb. You'll save so much money. Then if Apple reintroduces FireWire on the new MB in the near future. You could resell it for almost as much as you paid for it, and then buy a new one.
