This...

I use mine a lot. If you don't, there's a reason....most likely your set up is not "set up" for you. Mine was off and it was VERY uncomfortable, some tweaking and it's one of the most comfortable positions I have now besides my aero bars. Most people rotate them too far upward putting the wrist at an awkward angle or use drop that are too "dropped" for them. Try a pair of compact drop bars, that usually works for most people.
