I'm team barrel connector after having broken many usb-c ports. That's a plus not a minus.

I'm team usb-c after having broken many barrel connector ports. That's a plus not a minus.

I'm also team usb-c because it is extremely nice having one charger that can charge any of my devices instead of needing a charger for my laptop, a charger for my phone, a charger for my tablet, on and on

It is also pretty open - you can probably get a power supply from any number of vendors.

Seems like every other laptop vendor has a proprietary super-special just-for-me connector, that ends up being the same voltage

(not that USB-C isn't open)
