The mechanics of standard shifting are a lot simpler to me, so I find myself more willing to put my trust behind them.
I'd still be willing to put it on a Tri bike for the extra performance, but not an every day thing.

But I recognize that people were probably saying exactly this with the advent of STI shifters, so I won't say my position on it won't changeover time. Also, I've ridden Di2, but never actually owned or spent any significant amount of time on it, so there's a bit of a bias.
