I don't think wireless charging is the end-all solution. But I find it quite nice in many situations.
For example having it at my desk is great. My phone just sits there for hours at a time and having a slow charge is great. It doesn't matter that I have to put my phone down because I am at the computer, I'm not using my phone anyways (other than maybe to take a quick photo, but a 30s break in charging isn't a problem for me).
> I'd rather have a cable and a port that's easier to put in and more resistant to wear/breakage/clogging.
I don't see how a connector and cable will be more resistant to wear/breakage/clogging than two flat surfaces.
I agree it sounds like your desk has a poor implementation. I definitely wouldn't want it raised. But I don't think that makes the technology bad in general.
At the end of the day I think it comes down to slightly easier to use in tradeoff for a slower charge and maybe easier to accidentally disconnect. However for me that is actually a favourable tradeoff for almost all of my charging.
