I've been riding bicycles for nearly 60 years and have used a great variety of derailleurs. Although I keep my bikes for a long time I don't recall ever having problems with any derailleurs other than needing to lube and adjust them on occasion. I bend them from time to time (especially when I kept the folding bike on the boat) but I've always been able to bend them back and get them working well again.
That being said, I like hub gears and am in the market for an electric cargo bike (I have been carless since 2014) with hub gears and belt drive.
This is my most recent photo, though I have upgraded the wheels and seat post since it was taken. Its not foldable, but then I only have to fold my bikes when I travel. I found a custom Ostrich carry bag which contains the various parts very compactly, and makes it easy to put on a train or airplane.
