USB is my least favorite connector, aside from the old iPhone connector. In all its form factors it's universally difficult to get hooked up without physically looking at the plug and the socket, and it seems to break too often. Worse yet, most people I know can barely even tell the different versions apart, and often figure out if a USB cord is compatible with a device by just trying to jam it in and see if it fits. The new lightning connector looks like it offers much better ergonomics and better durability than any of the existing USB plugs. So I'm happy to see connectors going in this direction. Let's see the USB standard copy the idea.
