I notice most fixed gear bikes have flat bars or at the most bullhorns. This includes ones being sold complete and 90% of those in videos I've seen. (of course custom ones range from everything to everything)

So why is it that more fixed gear bikes have flat bars but the rest of the other forums swear by drop bars no matter what you ride? (hybrid, commuters, cyclo's, and of course roadies.)

I personally grew up on flat bars and feel much more in control on any bike with them. I'm just O.K. in the drops, but I'm pretty wiggly on the tops.

{edit** After some explanation: by flat bars, I really mean anything with a wide, squared off stance that gives you more control.
