Agreed.
I prefer a ‘proper’ dock like the HP ultra Slim dock 2013 or the Lenovo ThinkPad pro dock, where you set the laptop into it and you’re good to go, but times change and the current usb-c thunderbolt docks are reasonably decent now. One cable if your laptop doesn’t have insane power demands, or two if you use a laptop with >100W draw
The desk clutter for this setup makes my eye twitch. I’d rather have 1 or 2 cords connected and a dock tucked away.
Edit: Ports good for flexibility on the go. But at home, I don’t want a rat’s nest of cables. Cable management is what separates us from the animals.
