    The USB-C standard will probably last as long as USB-A has so far or longer.

        With 7 years of active use, USB-C is already 25% of the way there then.

        Once you actually start using devices that fully utilize all that USB-C has to offer, there is no going back. Getting lots of Power Delivery, Display, Networking and enough bandwidth for other USB devices all over one cable is just so good. At work i just walk up to any monitor, which will have all the necessary stuff attached, plug in one cable to my laptop and im good to go.

          I resorted to splitting everything because I was burning docks, so now I’ve got four plugs taken on my laptop: a small USBC dock for one HDMI and power, one regular HDMI, one USBC to HDMI and one USBA for a four USBA hub… Which sucks because one USBC is able to handle all my needs, the docks are just shit…
