I'm not complaining.
USB is "the go", newer model ("consumer grade") PCs no longer have serial ports and USB provides a nice little power source to peripherals which RS232 never did except maybe for mice - a bit dodgy for scanners and disk drives, but adequate for many Arduino or similar projects. I have been Hoovering the adapters on eBay, even the five pin ones, don't much care whether FTDI, CP2102 or that other thing; not sure what I am going to do with them all just yet, but I will certainly have the flexibility.
