What didn't you like about it? I've used USB before, and while it is somewhat
complex, if you're actually trying to achieve everything that USB does (power
control, plug and play, guaranteed delivery as well as bulk delivery, "dumb"
modes for initial boot of PCs with keyboards and mice as well as the standard
"smart" modes, multiple speeds, etc.), I think that much of the complexity is
needed. (I'd say the one place they got carried away was with control
reads/writes... and once they let the "software guys" loose on defining stuff
like HID, but that's no an inherent problem with USB itself).
