My bike came with track drops. I didn't like them for street riding either, mostly because there was nothing to comfortably grab onto while mashing/accelerating, but part of it might've been that my drops have an oversize stem which limits my brake lever placement. I switched to bullhorns and will probably stick with them for as long as I own my fixed bike. I like them compared to risers or flat bars because you have more hand positions. The only thing I really miss about the drops is when it's a windy day and I want to get low. I can 'kinda' do that with the horns by stretching out on the ends, but not as much as drops.
