Depends what you mean by good handling. I fly because I like flying, not because I want to have to fight some untamed beast so give me 'tame' handling anyday. My flying unless it's doing something to keep current is invariably going somewhere with either a mate or two mates. I don't want something that loops with finger tip pressure or rolls with merely a glance in the direction you want to go. Having said that I can understand people who do want that sort of thing and would support their right to fly something twitchy.

Same with cars. Pal of mine has a TVR Chimaera that you would have to pay me to drive, it's a beast. I have an automatic all singing all dancing car that you just have to sit in and it virtually does it all for you. I like my aeroplanes to be the same.
