Just not enough to spend any money to find out, which when I look around at other people's bikes, is the same as most people.
It's not something you are gonna miss until you get used to riding electronic. Even though I have had DI2 on my TT bike since 2014, I've stuck to mechanical shifting on my road bikes all the way until a few months ago and never felt i was missing out. But once I did the switch... well, my one remaining mechanical/rim brake bike (a Lynskey Sportive) is getting sold at some point and replaced with a disc brake/Di2 gravel bike.
