Stick or yoke?

Reading in another thread "most of the others have sticks, which are much better for everything except pretending you're still in a car" I am hesitating to follow my club's change of planes. All my flying till now has been on stick-equipped planes, but these have been discarded and I am now supposed to change to using a yoke. Is it really very different? Why are sticks better for most things? If yokes are really poorer, why are they being used?

Obviously, yokes will be preferred by those wearing long tight skirts... but I can't remember ever seeing such on an aerodrome, more's the pity.
