I noticed he nuked this post but he's just mad at me for a tiff we are having elsewhere.
Don't take things so personally, Jawalk3r. We can disagree without being disagreeable. I know that IGH is a wonderful choice for you but you'll not find too many people going that route. The expense and weight are going to put most people off. As for derailer shortcomings, there aren't too many of them. I teach people how to maintain their bikes all the time and nearly every problem short of a bent derailer can be fixed in less than 30 seconds. A bent derailer takes maybe 5 minutes more. It's a pretty simple system to understand, operate and maintain.
