Lace-ups are needlessly tedious and time consuming for me, and having done it back in the 80's, I'm well over it. I did have a sweet pair of Avia MTB laceups I loved and recall fondly; they had a velcro-down lace cover for a cool, aero look, much like the Bonts Wiggins wore in the '12 TdF.
I also hate buckle ratchet systems.
