I didn't come to appreciate the power of USB-C until I started using it with my laptop. It is a single cable that connects to my monitor, powers the laptop, provides USB access to the keyboard and mouse, and to the hub on the monitor. This is a big enough improvement to the desktop-style workflow, since there is only a single wire, and no docking station. It's trivial to jump between desktop mode and laptop mode. That's usability changing experience with USB-C.
