USB hubs are just a nuisance, since they're either not powered and semi-useless, or they are powered and require another power source to be plugged in. I don't need the clutter. Having powered hubs inside of other devices is great though. I wish it were more common.
Many monitors coem with nice powered hubs. I use a Dell monitor that has a 4 port inbuild hub. So if you'r looking for a new monitor, consider one with inbuild hub.
The fancy Apple keybords also come with 2 port hubs, but those aren't powered.
