I have reverse rise on two of my three bikes and don't have any
problems switching.  (He says while whistling and fingers crossed
behind back.)  Doesn't reall take any time to mentally switch between
the bikes.  I don't find it to be limiting.

Then again, the two bikes that have reverse rise shifters also have V-
brakes, so maybe my likes are a bit out of the mainstream.
