HDMI is backward compatible to DVI, but the reverse is more complicated when it comes to audio (needing special adaptors)

No, HDMI used to be about Audio-Video functionality. Now, it's primarily about higher resolutions, since DVI can only do 1080p. If it wasn't for Dual-Link DVI, HDMI would be needed.
But, I understand what you're saying. Personally, I will never care for HDMI, because I will always have an outstanding speaker system. I mean who uses their TV's built-in speakers anyway?
