What USB/Serial chip are folks using these days instead of FTDI? (Not a microcontroller.)

The prankster in me thinks that the FTDIGate driver trick was hilarious, but the engineer in me would rather not use parts from a vendor who writes drivers that knowingly brick hardware.

First in 2014 and then again in 2016, FTDI modified their drivers to mess with counterfeit chips. The first time bricking them by changing the USB PID, and the second time reading false data over the port. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTDI#Driver_controversy …

This plus FTDI silicon design is ugly and buggy. CP2101. Doesn't do JTAG though.

Best part is the FTDI clones actually fixed the bugs.https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/695292366639378433 …
