Depends on depth and size of handlebars, position and size of hands.

I have no problems shifting from the drops or the hoods with Shimano.

I think the climbing buttons (Dura Ace SW-R9150) might be handy for me though. Since I do a lot of climbing I'm on top of the bars a lot and just hitting a switch with my either thumb to shift could be handy. But I finally got everything cleaned up so I don't have anything mounted on the bars anymore so I'll probably never do it. Just thinking out loud (and coming up with an excuse to buy another bike part

Yep. Best reason in the world.

With flat/wing bars, the tops aren't a comfortable place to put my hands anyway. I can shift easily from the hoods and drops. Never saw any appeal for the remote shift buttons.
