Is the long term dongle free? C to C everywhere? My TV could have USB-C instead of HDMI ports. I could use the same cable I use for charging my phone to hook my laptop up to the TV.

This solves the cable problem (every cable should support the full spec) but it doesn't quite solve the support question. Just because I have a cable that works between my phone and TV doesn't mean it will actually do anything.

I hope so. It also solves the hub or dock problem in one go. I just get back to my desk, plug in one USB-C cable and I now have all of my devices plugged in.

There are Thunderbolt (2) hubs that allow you to do just that even now, bit pricey though.

Also I don't think USB-C is the deciding factor here, it'll still have to use Tunderbolt to provide the hub functionality.
