We really need robust USBC drivers.

Even Apple, being in the forefront of USB C connectivity, is vastly lacking in robust USB C operations. Plug in/out of usbc cables causes dramatically high crash rate on the new MBPs

Ah so I am not the only one! My MacBook Pro was regularly crashing completely when I unplugged my dock while it was closed. I now always have to wake up my MacBook before I unplug the dock.

By "forefront of USB-C connectivity", you mean the new iPhones still use the proprietary lightning connector, to the detriment of progress.

first mass market laptop to be exclusively on USBC? Yeah if anyone, you'd get expect them to get the USB C stuff right...

But it wasn't the case. It's downright infuriating to use.
