Maybe I'm biased, but I really love the AU/NZ plugs and sockets.
Out of all the different standards, they're probably the least ugly looking; switched outlets are a (literal and figurative) lifesaver; and it's incredibly useful that you can put a 10 amp plug in a 15 amp socket, but not a 15A into a 10A.
- genewitch 5y agoThe US plugs that have a sideways T are the lower amperage compatible style, but everything over 20A has a plug that is circular in arrangement. You can put a 10A in the one with a sideways T, but not the converse, because the hot leg is rotated 90°. To be fair I've never seen that plug in the wild, but I don't go out much.
