IMO, all connectors have issues, some more, some less.
USB-A has proven remarkably good, despite the "insert 3-times" problem, and it's now fairly large size.
Lightning is ok -- I have found that cables lose their "snap in" ness after a while, the arcing limits the connector lifetime, and I've snapped the tongue off a few (cheap) cables.
USB-B Micro has been pretty good for me, despite the "insert 5 times" problem.
USB-C has advantages of "insert-once", and smaller size, but (in my one-off anecdata) can have issues with losing its snug-ness over time. I thought it was notable, since it was with a MacBook -- so not something badly engineered, or cheap, or whatever.
I guess my view is that it's not a panacea, and arguably, on a par with things it's replacing.
