I tend to agree... my 1972-era PDP-11 systems all have D-shell connectors for most I/O, and guess what, they still work fine. And yeah, that's "slightly more" then the listed 200-to-500 matings, I can guarantee that! :)
Elecraft's choice of using the D-Sub15 is fine. It's solderable by most people, not too flimsy to just break when being pulled at the connector end (try that with a MiniDIN ..) and, as someone else already mentioned, you can even grab a regular PC VGA cable, get rid of the "other end" of the cable (that being a connector or a monitor ;-) and then use it for the KayThree...
