@Organfreak - totally.
I just get (IMO rightly) irritated when I see the whole yokes vs. sidesticks, active vs. passive feedback being brought back up when it has pretty much bu*ger-all to do with the incident at hand. The fact is that active feedback and honking great control yokes have their drawbacks too - but you don't tend to hear that as often.
There is no such thing as a perfect interface, for flying or any other mechanical activity for that matter - *that's* something that needs to be accepted by all sides.
