Here is why I like electronic shifting more than mechanical

1. Due to some neuropathy, shifting mechanically is difficult and can be uncomfortable on really long rides
2. Ease of setup, set and forget
3. No cable stretch issues
4. Better aerodynamics
5. Much prefer the hood ergonomics of the SRAM AXS HRD Red over etap 11 speed hoods or the mechanical 11 speed by far
6. Right shifter to harder gear, left shifter for easier gear and both to shift the chainrings is very intuitive to me
7. Regular cage SRAM AXS on my bike can shift 36T whereas the extended cage can shift 39T, but the earlier Generation, it is much smaller rear cog.
8. On a TT bike, is there any argument which is better?

What I don't like is the inefficient AXS chain.
