The USB C connector is awesome and this is great news. I still wish the industry would have standardized on the 2.5mm jack. It can be plugged in any direction

I still wish the industry would have standardized on the 2.5mm jack. It can be plugged in any direction. You could pull a cord out of a mess of cables and it would not snag as there is nothing to snag on.
