And Firewire to USB, and VGA to DVI to Displayport to HDMI, and... I'm just surprised that apple did the thing everyone wanted: switch to a standard. And now bam, nope this is horrible. Its time for usb c, sucks now but it'll pass. Be more worried about usb c incompatibility more than usb c.

The coolest thing about USB-C is that it's the same in both ends...

Doesn't mean all USB-C is compatible with all USB-C sadly. So we'll have lots of my $BRAND cable didn't work with $OTHERBRAND problems.
