Even the Glow series from B&N do not use UMS, but MTP.
I use only ADB. Unlike MTP there's no flurry of communication when you connect. You can pull the cable at any time without a problem. If that was in the middle of a book, the transaction won't be completed, but the next sync will transfer it.
Seriously, UMS is ancient, but more especially, bad technology.

First, most ordinary users (including me) have no idea how to connect in any other way than what the device does out of the box (I don't even know what ADB is); second, for calibre users there IS no other way. I want Calibre to automatically update the metadata and collections on my Kobos when I connect; for that, I need to connect to Calibre, not only to my PC, which can only be done via UMS.
