I’ve never had the bit snap off a USB A cable when it was plugged in yet it’s happened to me twice with USB C. I’ve also had to replace ports due to the wear on the cable futon not being able to stay in place. Furthermore, I’m less certain if a cable I have lying around is going to be fully compatible. I also have to keep USB A around so there’s this big growth in the number of cables and adapters that are necessary.

In almost every way that is meaningful to me USB C has been a downgrade. I can’t think of anything that improved my experience beyond saving a minute when I plug the laptop into only the monitor and not the power cable too.
