don't get me wrong, I have no real urge to use dt really in daily life, sti, trigger and my Gevenalles are so much safer and easier and faster....But I still enjoy the odd finger gymnastics of right hand both lever shifting, downshift up front and almost same time of an upshift at rear with other fingers or palm, finger ballet.
I really like brifters, but if it comes down to choosing between down tube and bar end Ill take down tube shifters. And I really can't say I missed the brifters on the ST.
