There are those of us who (1) find shifting our triples completely trouble-free (I use Grip-Shift with a friction left shifter on a flat bar, along with bolt-on aero bars for ideal versatility) and (2) appreciate small incremental jumps between gears versus big jumps between chainrings and between cassette cogs.
I'm sure there's some way that 2x or 1x is superior for some people; just curious what that advantage might be.

Apparently you find at least ONE double advantageous.
