I do get frustrated with the cables but it was a lot worse before switching to Festool and the plug it system. Largely you keep one cable plugged into the hoover and switch between them at the tool end. I forget that other tools don't have that.
For years now I've been working with a hoover on pretty much any job I do so that's where most of my frustration gets directed. Having to deal with hoover hose and power in tight spaces is a pain.

I agree with you to a certain extent here. I won't be going for a cordless mitre saw for example. But the convenience of not tangling myself up in cords when I switch direction plus the ease of tidying stuff away without having to kink up a cable to get it into a case means cordless is just really convenient, even for the home DIY-er.
