LOL! I definitely don't want to give up the multi-gear transmission.
For me, starting from zero in stop and go city traffic with a fixed gear would be hard on my joints - or if I fix the gear low enough, I've got a pretty limited top speed.
Then again, people love fixies, so maybe I'm missing something.
