There's a lot of both HDMI and DVI out there. New monitors tend to have both
jacks. I believe VGA is in sharp decline due to not being able to drive today's
screen sizes well.

I'd like to see HDMI win because the connectors are less fragile and fussy.
I don't know if this is happening.

HDMI-to-DVI adaptors are cheap.  I *do* know that this has occasioned
great consternation among the suits running the media cartel; they
hate it when their immensely expensive scheme to replace a relatively
open standard with one DRM-locked out the wazoo gets totally derailed
by $3 parts mass-produced in Taiwan.  Well, they can't say we didn't
warn them, repeatedly.  Idiots.

It's simpler than that, as you'll see.
