@hillberg - we're not going into the force-feedback loop again if we can help it - suffice to say there are as many valid reasons for dropping it as there are for keeping it, so it becomes a matter of personal preference.
I do not think whether it's a matter of preference by anyone
This is something that can affect (in some cases) the (safe) conduct of flight
In fact .. there are currently two systems (the yoke and the sidestick) with or without feedback
There are questions about these two systems concerning the conduct of the flight and one of the two will prove better than the other
It's to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each and make the best choice for flight safety
