well, 'reverserdeployed', with that kind of thinking (shouldn't a transport plane ....) we would still fly old clunky pieces of aluminum and enjoy the sound (and oily windows) of a radial engine. It doesn't matter how the flight controls look like, more important is that those things are fly-by-wire. The B777 has it, and it absolutely doesn't make a difference if you tell the computer your idea of the flight path to choose with a stick or that beloved yoke of yours, although it makes you feel like you can better control the plane.
