So, again, this is just my preferences.  Since I want to have fun with this stuff for personal use:  I am getting more militant about being a part of the anti-YACE (Yet Another Cable End).  I bought a USB-A to Barrel Jack cord on Amazon and already lost one of the adapters.  I am done with micro-USB gadgets, not interested in carrying different barrel ends.  Heck, these Chinese companies don't seem to label what the dimensions are on the adapter itself anyway.

I am mainly interested in USB PD power banks going forward and that means USB-C.  One of the ways that the updated/fixed RPi 4 in nice is the ability to use it directly with a USB-C port on an iPad Pro.  So that's a little, cheap and portable dev environment and useful depending on what kind of dev you want to do, of course.  Can't do that with a Hardkernel board, I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong). 

Nice benefit is getting away from Apple's proprietary Lightning cables, too.  But I'm still in the Apple ecosystem mostly due to macOS and Macs are still my favorite work/dev machines.
