Have to disagree with you very strongly, there Skylark 4. I've experience of gliding, and the sport certainly has its delights, but as far 'nice to fly' goes IMHO gliders come just above C150s and PA 28s. Very slow roll rate, for one.
Try a Chipmunk or a Yak, then see if you still think gliders are better to fly that powered aircraft.
And for aeros it's no contest. The Yak is just amazing - but a glider trying to do aeros is way out of its element. A bit like a bicycle competeing in a motor race.
Of course, Yaks don't soar too well (Chippies aren't bad!), but it's 'nice to fly' we're talking about here ;~)
