Probably like many on this list, I grew up with DT shifting. Once I tried bar ends, I liked them a lot better. After years with bar ends, I tried DTs for a few months on my Atlantis. Not a difficult switch but went back to bar ends. On the issue of interference points, I would occasionally touch the front tire with DTs, and they are quite difficult off-road. OTH, with bar ends I sometimes bump them at low speed when turning sharply. Overall I prefer having the shifters on the bar, close at hand. Currently my Atlantis is set-up with upright bars and thumb shifters and I like this a lot.
