Thumb-shifters. Each control on the ergopower only does one thing. So the engagement is positive and solid. I never much cared for the sideways movement of STI levers when braking. They're easy to reach from the drops.
Being able to shift a pile of gears at once.
Front derailleur trim. Works perfectly. Maybe the others do too, but.
13-28 cassettes for fat bastards.
Shifting is positive and quick.
Bad:
Wheel compatibility and the lack thereof
Campag chains are horrid. Straight to KMC.
Doesn't like being gunged up - the shifting becomes a bit sticky
Skeleton brakes look great but are a pain to clean
Interesting:
Zinn reckons that you can drive SRAM derailleurs/cassettes with 10sp Ergopowers as the amount of cable pull is similar. I might give this a go.
I have Chorus 10sp and like it very much.
