(Firewire is the popular name of the communication standard IEEE 1394)
If you think they should drop this and use USB for everything, keep in mind that - while its theoretical speeds may be similar, they're fundamentally different:Firewire uses a "peer-to-peer" communication system, USB uses a "master-slave" approach.
(Just plug a couple of external USB hard drives to a PC and compare its performance with another PC having the same number os Firewire external hard drives - and you'll see what I mean. :)
