Not really. Someone mentioned to me that the old style gear levers had a name along the lines of "death levers" because you tend to wobble every time you change gears. I kinda get that but I guess after a while you get used to it.
It's probably more a case of being left behind every time the guys kick. I find it takes more time for me to change and there is no doubt that I cannot exert as much force with only one hand on the bars compared to the other guys.
I guess unless you're a serious racer it does not really matter that much.
