Is the ability to preview a post, in 4.0, gone?

Yes, gone and replaced with a WYSIWYG editor.

That sucks, I enjoyed the post preview.

Well, it wasn’t really there for enjoyment. ;-)

It was there for a purpose – to preview styling and embedding, which are now already present while you create the post. It makes no sense to see everything already and then hit a button to see the same thing once more before you publish it. 

As long as you don’t want to manually write bb codes all the time, what do you really miss about the preview?

Users want to see images. After upgrading to 4.0 many of my members complain about the missing preview button. They often post large post with 100+ images so they want to see that everything looks ok before it is posted.

When members post images from url the images are not shown. So we need a preview button.

Images should auto-embed. As @broni pointed out there is patch for this if it is still not happening.

The only thing you'll need a "preview" for anymore is BBCode but BBCode should no longer be necessary. If you think of a situation that you need the preview button for, please post it up and we can let you know if it's covered by the editor :) .
