The dongle and does-this-monitor-work-oh-wait-I-need-a-differet-cable-huh-that-didn't-help-either-guess-I'll-switch-monitors situation with the new MBPs at our office has been much worse than I expected, and I expected it to be pretty bad.
Having to go back to the bad old days of researching all kinds of cables and adapters and monitors and crap to figure out whether some combination of them will maybe do what we need them to is a giant step backwards. Doing anything with the new MBPs and external hardware starts with a frustrating dongle/cable search, as well. The benefits of USBC are, so far, non-existent—it has been an entirely negative experience.
