I'm in the camp that thinks taildragger flight training would produce better stick & rudder skills than the nose wheel version. However trying to convince modern thinking "what's the point?" People who just want to fly the latest plastic fantastic piece of glass crap while impressing their friends is a waste of bandwidth.

As said, if airliners ever go back to DC3 days things might change.
First thing I did after licence was tailwheel differences, then bought one.


It's the apparent fear of the tailwheel that surprises me.
