I prefer a stick but:-

While a stick is more fun if your passenger is a young lady with a skirt on she might not think it so.

You wouldn't be able to run the seats so far forward on a 172 to let the rear seat passengers in if it had sticks.

Getting into and out of the drivers seat of a PA28, C310, or any of the others with a single door would be a lot more of a performance with sticks.

It's not so entertaining to take your petrolhead friend up for a ride with sticks. Ask him to turn left with a yoke and he can really alarm himself as the roll keeps increasing
