I wonder if there is a degree of snobbery here?
I'd bet a fiver that most people haven't flown a PA28 or C150 to the edge of the envelope (I know that I haven't), but they still like to sneer how car like it is.
Well, I've flown sticks and yokes and ram's heads and....
The PA28/32 yoke was sometimes a little awkward to get fully back in the flare
The PA23 yoke was fluid and a delight to use
The 150 yoke was little
Sticks are less convenient for plates etc, but are lovely to use otherwise
Rams heads are very easy for cross wind landings from either side, no sprained wrists
As Bose X says, there are things that should worry most of us more.
Perhaps the people who specifically need a yoke or a stick also need a special pair of flying shoes too.....
