I fly because I like flying... If you have no feedback and can't feel what the aircraft is doing, where's the fun.

I hand fly the aircraft as much as I can, traffic and congestion permitting, up to cruise altitudes and back down from TOD.

Wouln't think that it would be as much fun with no feedback from "Sidestick". Call me old fashioned but I think that tactile clues and feedback makes a big difference when flying not only by giving pilot a better idea what the aircraft automatic systems are doing thus increasing awareness and increasing safety.
