Au contraire - USB is for the students who need to learn the nitty gritty. I've made it to 70 with all my hair by taking the easy way out.

I bought Jan Axelson's USB Complete when she first released it and quickly decided I would avoid real USB forevermore.

I develop for Windows, Linux & OSX and the USB-serial chips (or external adapters) are the only practical way to handle all three.
