The UK plug is the gold standard, and for me it's one of those things that would have been great if they concepts had become the norm.

The mains issue I have with them is just how big they are.

Given how many things I have plugged in on or around my desk, I’d need power strips the size of a large dog to plug them all in UK style. Whereas US they all fit in the size of a very small cat.
