Two very different bikes. Geared bikes have thier purpose, fixed gears have thier purpose.
Ride either one.
I was simply saying that those were my reasons for switching from a road to fixed gear bike. Everyone has different experiences, but I found myself only riding in one, maybe two gears 95% of the time, so I ditched the derailers and rode my bike as a single speed for a while, then converted to fixed.
