I actually would rather have albatross, flat bar/bar end combo or a mustache than drop bars. I don't like using brifters and find most drop bars too skinny, plus I don't like to ride in the drops so the bars aren't for me. The wider the better for me.
I can't say I have ever wanted drop bars and not had them.
