Until some tired spanners wires them up the wrong way - then you have one side electronically forcing opposite motion into the correctly-wired side.
As has been stated before (and not just by me) there are pros and cons to all the existing control philosophies - obviously pilots of the old-school will prefer the closest possible mimicking of traditional behaviour, but that does not necessarily mean traditional is either better or better for everyone.
@BOAC - I still think the autotrim situation is being rather over-emphasised by those who want to redirect blame to the control philosophy and the manufacturer more than they want to do anything else (including solving the actual problems that led to this accident).
