Wi-Fi is convenient and it's everywhere. Maybe it's because I grew up with only wired networks for my early years of computing, but I've always felt that Wi-Fi is a big compromise. The best Wi-Fi technology is, of course, pretty great, and in day-to-day use I have no complaints. However, there are still many things that the humble Ethernet cable is just so much better at doing.
