    Plenty of type I come out sideways- they are lower profile than most I’ve seen, slightly more so than type G.

    This can actually be a bit of an annoyance, sometimes… If the socket is right next to the floor, or in a densely packed area, for example, it can make plugging difficult.

    And if it does have a ground pin, it’s mandated that the ground be longer than the power pins, for exactly the reason you mentioned about G,D,M.

    The recessed feature of F I do like, even if it makes the plugs physically larger than they need to be.
