YMMV. I personally don't know anyone who uses wireless charging for anything, and I work in IT.

"and I work in IT."

Yeah that's probably the problem. I mean, fuck dropbox, because ftp mount filesystem and use svn/git, right? Wireless charging is a great improvement over fiddling with cables several times a day. Anyone who's gotten used to it doesn't want to go back.

Except when you want to use the device and charge it...

If you're in that particular predicament (which should be very seldom), you can just connect that plebeian cable... You have two charging options now.
