I like indexed DT 8 speed shifting on my commuter and my long distance bike. I guess I actually love it.
I'm generally moving towards indexing on most of my bikes: -- trails bike (Rawland dSogn) has 8 speed brifters -- which I love for technical climbing. -- CX (RB-T) bike has single 8 speed brifter -- mountain bike is indexed. Until now, I didn't realize that I'd made such a transformation. I must say though, that I do miss the feel of Suntour barcons, which I used to run nearly exclusively on all drop-bar bikes. My move to the dark side of indexing stated with the DT shifters though, which index beautifully since there's only one loop in the housing.
