My problem is more with the ecosystem than reliability; granted, I don’t need too much from it, just some screens, networking and USB. But that’s just a giant pain to figure out in general. Adapters and cables that require painstaking research to get right (and even then a lot of YMMV on the user’s end) are insanely frustrating. I live in a small Eastern European country so for me the idea of using two 4K screens I already had at 60 on a brand new MacBook Pro involved a day’s research and ordering stuff from abroad and waiting more than a week to find out if it would even work or not. And I think of myself as tech literate…
While I understand the ‘elegance’ factor of the nice and compact USB C ports and the expandability of Thunderbolt, I’m glad that I don’t have changing needs because it would frustrate me to constantly have to look into everything and potentially keep having to buy stuff from other countries just to be able to make use of these ports.
But tldr; my TB3 to DisplayPort adapters work well enough that I only reboot the computer for updates.
