I am riding the hell out of mine
The bike I currently have with me is my Raleigh Twenty with the AW hub on it. I probably have more miles on the AW than any other combination of bikes. I rode one over 15,000 miles in a 4-5 year period. Still have it and still ride it on occasion. I guess it boils down to what works for each person. I can ride a 24 speed at a fairly constant cadence and then swap to a 3 speed that you have to mash.
