I'd just stop buying devices that use Micro USB. Problem solved.

But seriously, I'd just rather have the best possible solution, period. If only one device or one manufacturer decides to break the mold and do something better, then so be it. I'm willing to put up with the potential cable confusion to have at least one or some products that do it "better."

Be happy that most charger (i.e.. wall warts) for these products use a standard USB A connector, so you don't necessarily have to take multiple of those. Just take the Apple one because it's probably going to be the one less likely to catch on fire.
