Plenty of type I come out sideways- they are lower profile than most I've seen, slightly more so than type G.

This can actually be a bit of an annoyance, sometimes... If the socket is right next to the floor, or in a densely packed area, for example, it can make plugging difficult.

And if it does have a ground pin, it's mandated that the ground be longer than the power pins, for exactly the reason you mentioned about G,D,M.

The recessed feature of F I do like, even if it makes the plugs physically larger than they need to be.
