Lets face it, tail wheel - nose wheel is purely a matter of personal preference. What matters is the flying and if some feel more comfortable on the ground with a nose wheel, then fine. The important thing is to fly
Very true. I'd generalise it a little more and suggest that feeling comfortable in the air is also key to the TW/NW preference.
Personally I like nosewheels for general stuff and mucking/bimbling about. But my preference is the tailwheel purely because I have the luxury of actually flying the tailplane rather than it following me around blue yonder. Meaning for example that it feels more stable when deliberately adding a touch of top rudder when wanting to look at something slightly underneath the aeroplane perhaps; not sure if the manoeuvre has a name but I think of it as a 'nose high straight and level slip' if that's possible?!
