Now that I see the dropouts up close, I'm not that much against them. True, they're very thick and 2D, with none of the relief detail of a cast dropout, but they look like laser or waterjet-cut patterns following the Campagnolo 1010 - with adjusters, no less.
It may not be as elegant as a cast dropout, but I wouldn't mind seeing some modern steel bikes use these.
