I like the clean look of no wires, who doesn't?
Everybody who rides an electronic group set is going to run out of juice once. I live in a hilly city, my FD stopped working, and I knew I had a limited number of rear shifts left to get home. That motivates a person to be more on top of charging their battery.

I check it every Friday night when I'm checking tire inflation/wear, and chain lubrication.

I'm a weird mix of OCD and forgetful. Without any sarcasm at all: people smarter than me might be able to avoid it. I thought I could too until that one day. Part of me kind of wanted to see how far I could push it.

It’s only the inner OCD kicking in for the ultimate “clean” look. Moving beyond that I agree with all the disadvantages of the wireless. I have trouble keeping up with charging of lights, radar, bike computer, so definitely don’t need to add on top of that.
Other than that, I’m having difficulty coming up with reasons not to. I was contemplating a Di2 Ultegra bike for next spring, but now for the group set price one can get a whole bike. Yes, the rest of the components are mediocre, but again, for the price of the group set, you can have it delivered right to your door and be riding within an hour. There’s something to be said about that kind of convenience.

Side problem is having to relearn the app each time as it is non-intuitive and I don’t use it much to have muscle memory. Looks like it was made for the iPhone 1.

I found out the hard way when I made adjustments one night and the next morning tried going up the hill from my house and found I couldn’t change gears!
i find the AXS system much more intuitive and UX friendly.

Thats the issue. With most apps I don’t do an in-app dc. Just close it out swipe up and out. If I continue this habit with etube, Di2 ends up nonfunctional. Then I have to go back into the app and reconnect, specifically dc through the app, prior to closing out the app.

Interesting, I don't think I always used to disconnect from the app because it wasn't really intuitive like you mentioned before. Since I had to press the button on the control box to put it in discovery mode, I think I just pressed it again to take it out....can't remember for sure.

Do you apply updates to your Di2 whenever an update is released? I ask because I have not updated my Di2 since purchasing my bike. Right now the Di2 system is working well, and I worry that updating the Di2 might introduce new problems. The old "if it isn't broken, don't touch it" kind of mentality.
