I've used drop bars for about 2 years on one of my bikes and I finally took them off because I didn't like them.
I feel that I have a much better control of my bike when using MTB risers or flat bars with bar ends. On windy days I just go slower and allow all the drop bar jocks to pass me ... If you're commuting through downtown areas then wind is not too much of an issue because all the buildings block most of the wind. If you're out in an open area a lot then drops may be more useful... I also like bull horns with inline brake leavers, my fixie has them and I think that they are much better then drops for riding in traffic.
