Is sidestick the way of the future

Hi everyone

I wanted to discuss about sidestick controllers. It is little over 22 years since Airbus A320 the worlds first digital fly by wire jetliner started commercial service. One giant big step in the world of civil aviation. Now we have A330,340 and the A380 all with sidestick controllers. The Sukhoi regiaonl jeliner and theBombardair C series too wil have sidesticks.

I want to ask Airbus pilots these questions . Do you like the sidestick . Do you feel it is more ergonomic and precise compared to the conventinal control coloumn. Finally do you think is sidestick the way of the future. I would like you hear from all of you.

Thank you.
