Cables can be converted with a cheap adapter, just like we did from Mini- to Micro-USB, so that's not a huge deal, but integrated accessories, where there is no room for an adapter, would be useless.
Also, I love the reversibility and other touted features of the C connector, but I wouldn't mind seeing how they actually hold up over a few years of use before the industry wholly adopts them. How are all you Samsung S6 owners liking it?

The problem with USB-C is that unless it's been reviewed by someone reliable such as Benson Leung, you will have no idea if the cable or adapter is any good and if it's not good, it could damage your device and warranty will not cover that. Plus, some devices with USB-C are not actually USB-C compliant.
So for now given that a lot of us have a number of microUSB cables, I'd stick with microUSB.
