No everyone uses or likes bar end shifters. I like briftersthe touring bike I used on my first coast to coast and other longish tours had brifters by choice.
I also like down tube shifters OK and used them on my second coast to coast tour.
I don't like bar end shifters at all. I find they get bumped out of gear when parked and get bumped by my knees when standing to climb.
