No, you find the drops uncomfortable because of the height you have chosen to place your bar.
In my mind, this poll should center entirely around which hand position people prefer. In reality, most people haven't accepted that their bar height can change more than a couple CM and still believe that flats/hoods are supposed to be more comfortable and drops are for racing and pain.
In my mind, all the people (currently 49) who rarely, if ever, ride in the drops... you've got the wrong handlebars on your bike.
