I have basically zero doubt or hesitation about USB-C, but then again I don't have anything that uses Displayport. It can't be worse than cheap micro HDMI adapters falling apart though. It's not perfect, it's held back by somewhat nasty legacy stuff. but it's reliable and good enough and would be hard to do any better in practice. I'm a bit disappointed we haven't actually gone a bit further than we have so far with it though. Lots of products seem to have no excuse not to be C, aside fron there just not being cheap chips and modules. One thing we really need is a cheap way to do daisy chainable USB and more advanced power topologies, and many smart devices should just be dumb devices that use a special protocol for dongles that add the smarts. Things like light fixtures could be daisy chained USB. We should have power strips that combine two sources for redundancy. We should have linkable solar generators you can chain together as long as you want, that know which way to send power based on who has the sun and who is empty. If it were up to me, we would ditch 3.5mm completely, right now, and just have another USB-C port for any device still thinking about supporting analog. Even hobby robotics could use it with alternate modes for i2c and servos.
