I just bought a new bike that has drops and I highly dislike them as well. I feel more powerful, comfortable and feel like I have better control when I'm on the bullhorns. It may be geomtry, weight, size, experience, etc contributing to me prefering bullhorns since it is a new bike.

The new bike is also a "coastie" (thanks to the other forum topic that made me lol), which I haven't ridden in a while, so that may have something to do with it. The option of gears is overwhelming.
