Admittedly I tend to enjoy chucking my planes about (whether microlight, glider or Group A) so perhaps a yoke is ok if you don't really want to 'yank & bank'. Personally I wouldn't buy (or pay to fly in) anything with a yoke though, it just feels too much like driving a car...
While we're at it, I prefer a quadrant throttle too. Throttle in left hand, stick in right hand, the natural order of things
(Dons tin hat for incoming...).
Logic sequence...
(1) A Cessna 152 has a yoke
(2) Flying a Cessna 152 is boring.
(3) Therefore, all aeroplanes with yokes are boring to fly.
Not sure that quite computes.
