I've converted 2 of my bikes (commuter\Mountain) and both of my wife's bikes, hybrid and mountain to 1X and we both love it. I did her bikes first, she is not the rider I am and having to deal with front and rear shifting was always something she hated. I recently bought her a new bike and specifically picked the model as it was a 1X. The lack of a front derailleur is a plus and you can really find a range of gearing to meet your needs with what every cassette you get.
