Some people don't like SRAM Apex. Mostly gripes about it's shifting. But I don't know that that is any more of a majority than those that don't like Rival's shifting or Di2 shifting.
I'm not so infatuated with my electronic shifting that I wouldn't turn down a bike with mechanical shifting if it had other better stuff on it. But all things being equal, I'll probably stick with electronic shifting on my next bike since at that price tier it's getting pretty standard.
