You wouldn't be able to even read the text.

Scaling is really needed at this point. Primarily due to the size of the screen. If the screen was larger then allowing the native resolution wouldn't be a problem. But at the current screen size (15") you would have a really hard time reading text.

There are images out there of each of the hiDPI resolutions including the 1920 resolution. On my 1920x1200 resolution 23" cinema display it is readable. But even I squint a bit at text on this display and it's 23". I can't even imagine trying to use that resolution at 15".

Sorry, but Apple's "we know better than you" attitude is spot on with this particular thing.

I've been an Apple user for years and bought my first Mac (PowerBook G4) about 10 years ago. My main computer is a Mac Pro (2006) and is in dire need of replacement. I'm pretty peeved that the Mac Pros are not on the upgrade list this week. But I will not argue with them about this particular choice in not allowing native resolution on the new MBP Retina display.

Native resolution on that display would be next to impossible to view easily.
