I used to think like that until I went electronic. No more floppy brifters for me! Seriously though, electronic shifting is a step forward that few people would regret. In this case it really comes down to the cost. There is no real performance advantage with electronic, but it does make shifting super slick and effortless. Plus no more cable maintenance and cleaner front end. Battery charging is trivial.
