Having flown Chipmunks, Yak/Nanchangs, Heel brake Cubs, T Carts, Luscombes, Champs and Citabrias; and another 50 + types that had toe brakes I know what I would rather have ....................Toe Brakes.
However I really like the Chipmumk. It is a really pretty aircraft (especially those that have the original Canopy, not the iron mongers cast aways fitted to the UK ones) and has absolutely delightful flying characteristics.
The only problem with the airplane is the Canadian designers were forced to use crap UK systems like the brake system, all of the electrical components and the boat anchor Dripsy Major engine.
