At its core agile leads to being able to ship at small intervals and be... uhm... agile enough to adapt to market/business changes. What's not to like?

Long term, the main point of failure for me is always the outer rubberized cable layer starting to fray near the connector. It happens to my iPhone connectors, and annoyingly even on my more expensive power adapter cord.
