HDMI superior to Component-Video?

[Blue_MiSfit]

HDMI is the standard IMO largely because of three things

1) Simplified cabling (audio included)
2) Marketing
3) Future usefulness

For now, there's little visual difference to using an HDMI cable versus component cables on a standard 6-12ft run. In the future (i.e. if we start pushing 1080p60, or higher bit depths) all the extra bandwidth may be useful.

HDMI's also a bitch to route / split ;)

I would prefer to see DisplayPort connectors fitted to graphics cards over HDMI ;)
